Here is a method I believe will work. But I have not tested it out yet.
------------ --------------- ----------------
| |------>|old tape pool |------------>|new tape pool |
| |------>|old tape pool |------------>|new tape pool |
|disk | | | | |
|----------| --------------- ----------------
Chain the new tape pool as the nextpool in the old tape pool. Then
set the old tape pool with max scratch volumes allowed = 0.
Mark the old tape volumes as readonly. Also you could mark the old
volumes with a max size of 1k, unless adsm will let us spec a lessor
value.
Hopefully we will get new tape drive to use this year, this is my thinking
on how we would work the problem. If this does not work. Then my
fallback itea was to chain disk-->new-tape-pool-->old-tape-pool
with the smallest max size set on the old-tape-pool.
