Bruce, your mistake is *by design*. You can move data (with both "move data" and "move nodedata") between *primary* pools. Copypools *do not* contain node's data, they contain primary pools' data copies. To achieve the goal I would suggest you the following: 1. create new primary pool (if not done already) 2. create new policy domain, set its copygroups to point new primary pool and move the node into it 3. export the node's data, delete filespaces ... 4. ... and import it back (sorry I know it is time consuming and might look silly) 5. backup the primary pool to second copypool (C1_FS_DRMP)
Now what am I proposing: - in step 3 the data will be deleted from both originating primary pool and the "source" copypool. This is the only way I know to clean up the copypool. - in step 4 the data will be imported back into the server but in new primary pool. - steps 3-4 result similar to "move nodedata" but with deletion from copypool - step 5 is explanatory by itself If you can afford the data to stay in old copypool until it expires on its own you can use "move nodedata" and "backup stgpool" to finish faster. If you insist to clean the old copypool and have copies only in primary pools and new copypool then you have to go down the export-import road.

I tried using the move nodedata command but It gives me the following error: ANR1719E Storage pool C1_FS_DRMP specified on the MOVE NODEDATA command is not a valid pool name or pool type. ANS8001I Return code 3. This is the command I was using: move nodedata tsmserv from=drmpool to=C1_FS_DRMP TYPE=any >From reading the help is it my understanding that I can not do this with the move nodedata? If not. Will this work? 1. Bind nodes to new management class. 2. Use move nodedata command to move onsite data to new storage pool. 3. Use backup stgpool from new onsite storage pool to new offsite copy storage pool. 4. This is the step I'm not sure about! How do I remove the data from the old offsite storage pool?
