We migrated off our optical library over a decade ago. Our BP did the migration, so I can't recall exactly how they did it. We migrated to a Windows server. May I ask where you migrated?

Thanks

Back in 2012, we had to migrate our 50 optical platters from a 3995-C42 to the IFS.
Using conventional methods, runtime process would have been months.

3rd party vendor had a utility to do this faster.
SMU - Storage Migration Utility.
The utility migrated all 50 platters in less than one day.

Possibly a similar utility might be available for your migration.
