I think I have misunderstood how the command "move nodedata" works in regard to offsite media. I had believed that it functioned in the same way that reclamation and move data operations worked, utilizing onsite media to write new offsite media.
This quote relates to the "move data" command: You can use this command to move files from an offsite volume in a copy storage pool or active-data pool. Because the offsite volume cannot be mounted, the server obtains the files that are on the offsite volume from either a primary storage pool, another copy storage pool, or another active-data pool. These files are then written to the destination volumes in the original copy storage pool or active-data pool. I see nothing like that in the description of the "move nodedata" command. It looks like I made a false assumption. Is that so? -- George Huebschman Cell 301 875-1227 "When you have a choice, spend money where you would prefer to work if you had NO choice."
