Hello
If you are trying to use the tape to tape copy feature you will hit some issues with the drive requirements being in the same library.
To keep this simple i would recommend creating a new copy in your Storage policy and config and Aux copy of the data from old to new. This will be the easiest way to achieve this.
Kind regards

would you be so kind and described in detail how to do this
Hello
Please create new copy in Storage Policy which include the data from LTO4 tapes and create them bases on LTO8 library, very important to configure as source copy library LTO4. Auxiliary Copy jobs should automatically started after that. Auto scheduler is trigger every 30 minutes.

As already mentioned, you can create another copy using the LTO8 library and run aux copy jobs to copy the data.
You can follow this documentation link to understand more about creating copy.

Please remember for every job that needs to be copied to the new tapes, if those are in different storage policies, then you’ll need to create separate copies in those storage policies.

If we have 10 different storage policies (say all writing to tapes today and in the past) and every old tape is “unknown” as to what storage policy/copy it came from….
