Well, there appears to be two questions:  1. how can I stop migration
happening at 3am and 2. How can I make it happen when I want.

1.  If you make your migration percentage 100 then the migration from
optical to tape will only happen when the optical is full
        UPDATE STGPOOL {Poolname} HIGH=100

2.  If you make your migration percentage 2 then migration will occur
(unless of course you're using less than 2%)
        UPDATE STGPOOL {Poolname} HIGH=100

You may want to tamper with the low migration figure on (2) and set it to
something like 2% so that the optical storage pool is near empty.

None of this makes much difference if your drives are WORM as migration
won't actually FREE any space up on them, so migration will occur as soon
as the optical becomes full.

Did that help?  I have my doubts.
