I use the following macro to back up my disk and tape pool in sequence.
The wait
command doesn't work with migration, because the command only updates
migration
thresholds, and doesn't actually start the process. To work around this,
I follow
the last backup with update schedule commands that stagger the start
times for migration.
Each migration schedule lowers the high thhreshold on it's corresponding
storage pool.
Later in the day, I have another scheduled macro that resets the
thresholds on all the
storage pools.
