Do you really want to pull a copypool tape in from offsite! In terms of
Disaster Recovery there may be some exposure in doing that...

If I take a copypool volume and insert it into my tape library and run the
checkin process and check it in as a private volume will the DRM Manager
update the status of the volume?

What I am trying to do is figure out the best way to move data that is in
the copypool  from  J type tapes to K type tapes.

I could do it with the move data using a reconstruct=yes, but this is quite
slow. I was thinking I could load a few of the copy pool tapes into the
library, copy the data to a higher capacity tape, then use the Move DRMedia
command to move it the newly filled tape to vault status

Does this sound like it is possible?
