ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture wherein configuration information for a first plurality of storage devices is sent to be stored on at least one removable storage media of a removable storage media library. Data corresponding to the first plurality of storage devices is sent to be stored in the removable storage media library. A first plurality of storage devices is replaced by a second plurality of storage devices. The second plurality of storage devices is configured from the configuration information stored in the at least one removable storage media of the removable storage media library, in response to replacing the first plurality of storage devices. The stored data is copied from the removable storage media library to the second plurality of storage devices, in response to configuring the second plurality of storage devices.
