Naaaaaaaaa (for the most part) it doesn't matter what pool data resides in you could create two new tape pools, point things where they will be used have absolutely nothing point at the old tape pool and all would function just fine. eventually most of the data would expire off the tapes in the old pool and at a point known as "later" you could do "move data" commands to clear the last few tapes and then delete that storage pool...

I was told I had to move all the data out of the large storage pool to the smaller ones before I let the current data go there. Is this true? Also if it is how can I ever get all the data moved to the new tape pools? I have approximately 200 - 300 tapes to move the data off of.......
