Thanks to all who replied. The solution is quite
straightforward:

_______________________________________________________

should be able to do dfsmgr -m tape7 tape5

this should move it. (you may have to delete the hwmgr
entry for tape5
first:

#>hwmgr -sho scsi
to get the hwid
#>hwmgr -del comp -id <hwid from sho scsi>

then you can do the dsfmgr -m as above.

hope this helps.

Regards.
