Data cannot be moved from one copy pool to another; this is a design feature of TSM. However, there is a workaround. <MOVED_NODE = node to be moved to DR_TAPEPOOL> <NORM_TAPEPOOL = normal primary pool> <DR_TAPEPOOL = DR primary pool> <NORM_COPYPOOL = normal copy pool> <DR_COPYPOOL = DR copy pool> 1. Move MOVED_NODE's data from NORM_TAPEPOOL to DR_TAPEPOOL by running MOVE NODEDATA MOVED_NODE FROMSTG=NORM_TAPEPOOL TOSTG=DR_TAPEPOOL 2. Run BACKUP STG DR_TAPEPOOL DR_COPYPOOL This will copy all data in DR_TAPEPOOL to DR_COPYPOOL, including MOVED_NODE. MOVED_NODE's data in NORM_COPYPOOL will then be collected onto a single tape. 3. Deny access to all volumes belonging to NORM_COPYPOOL and residing in the tape library by running UPDATE VOLUME * ACCESS=READONLY WHERESTG=NORM_COPYPOOL WHEREACC=READW This will force step #4's action onto a new empty tape volume. 4. Run MOVE NODEDATA MOVED_NODE FROMSTG=NORM_COPYPOOL When finished, all of MOVED_NODE's data in NORM_COPYPOOL will reside on their own tape volume. Make a note of this new volume's number (tape 000324, for example). 5. Correct the access statuses changed in step #3 command above by running UPDATE VOLUME * ACCESS=READWRITE WHERESTG=NORM_COPYPOOL WHEREACC=READONLY 6. Now delete MOVED_NODE's data from NORM_COPYPOOL by running DEL VOLUME 000324 DISCARDDATA=YES You now have all of MOVED_NODE's data in DR_TAPEPOOL and DR_COPYPOOL. If you're naturally paranoid (like myself) you won't perform step #6 until all tapes belonging to DR_COPYPOOL are residing in your vault. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Office 262.521.5627
