I believe the easiest way by far is simply to use Admin to rename the =
node
you wish to move from "nodename" to "nodename-old", and leave the =
nodename
in your dsm.opt unchanged. This means you'll do a full backup the next =
time
you do an incremental, but, at our shop, that's more efficient than =
doing a
tape-to-tape copy. Then after a week or so, you can delete the =
file-spaces
for "nodename-old", and then "nodename-old" itself.

     The only way I can think of is to do an export for the node.  =
Delete
     all the data for it, and then import it.  This is of course time
     consuming at best.  The ? is what is the point in moving a node at =
a
     time from non-collated to non-collated.  Even if you do get all the
     data together for a node, it's not going to stay that way.

Hello ADSMers,
We currently have a non-collocated 3490 tape storage pool which is used =
to
store data for most of our nodes. Now we would like to use a new
non-collocated 3590 tape pool for a select group of nodes. I know that
 changing the 'destination' parameter in the copygroup will send new =
backup
data to the 3590 pool. The question I have is how to move the existing
backup data that is on the 3490 tape pool to the new 3590 pool. Are =
there
any 'undocumented' commands that will allow me to move data for a =
specific
node on a volume?
By the way, our ADSM server is 2.1.0.9 running on AIX 4.1.4.

Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day or whatever's left of it.
