Actually, there are more restrictions than what Mathew indicates.  A copy
pool tape must be moved to the same copy pool.  It cannot move the data to a
new copy pool like a primary can move to a new primary.

To move all your Copy Pool data to another copy pool, just build a new copy
pool using all the primary pools and the backup stg command, then delete the
volumes discarddata=yes in the original.

The other piece is if you do not want to change your reuse delay you can
always do a delete volume command to return a tape to the scratch pool.

Sorry, for the incomplete explanation the first time around.  You do need to
do a help on MOVE DATA and understand it completely.

Correction:

Move data works on both primary and copy storage pools, but it will only
move the data to a pool in the same position in the storage hierarchy. ie
primary pool to primary pool, copy pool to copy pool.

just my fraction of a euro..

Select 'move data ', volume_name, ' reconstruct=yes', ' stg=newstgpool' from
volumes where stgpool_name='OLDSTGPOOL' > /temp/macrofile

Notice the where clause is in caps.  This will create a file of output that
you will have to delete the first couple of lines from the output file as
shown below:

Unnamed[1]     VOLUME_NAME            Unnamed[3]           Unnamed[4]
----------     ------------------     ----------------     ---------------
move data      421999                  reconstruct=yes      stg=newstgpool

Next you will do a "macro /temp/macrofile" command.

MOVE DATA only works on primary storage pools to a different primary storage
pool.  And, every tape has to be mounted and the data copied to the new
pool.  I would set your reuse delay on the source pool to 0 so the tapes
will immediately scratch after the moves complete.

Subject: Moving Stgpools question


I have several storage pools in my environment and I would like to
consolidate them all into one storage pool (same dev type). My question is ,
is there any easy way to do this or do I have to do a "move data $volume
stg=newstgpool" for each volume of every storage pool? I guess I could write
a script to do it but I was hoping there was a was to move a full storage
pool with one command....Any help would be  appreciated..
