Re: Starting a Copy Storage Pool for DR

     I wouldn't do that, assuming your copypool tapes are offsite, the only
     time you would use these devices is when you are creating offsite
     copies.  Reclamation for offsite volumes is done from onsite copies.
     I would have one device class and let adsm manage the devices.

Hi,
Laura,
Creating separate Dev Class for Copy Storage pool will be the best solution
so you can have dedicated drives availabel for copy storage pool.

Thanks,
