We move our full archive tapes to a drawer and the script we run is:
move media * stg=archivetape wherestatus=full checklabel=NO
In order to have this work you also have to have configured an overflow
location for your archives, in our case we use shelf as the location ie:
Sequential Access Storage Pools : ARCHIVETAPE

Hopefullly this will help. The only downside to this is that when you do a
restore and some of the data is on a tape on the shelf you will have to load
it back into the library. TSM will prompt you for this.

We move all full archive tapes out of our tape library every day via a
script. So TSM can do this. We keep the tapes on a shelf in our Tape
Library room (and send copies offsite still). You could send the source
copies offsite easily too via a script.
Just use move drmedia (i don't have the exact syntax becuase I'm not at
work) but you just do that for a specific storage pool. Although we don't
know what tapes will be used when a user issues a retrieve (we also don't
know when a user issues a retrieve!) but tsm just asks to have the tape
mounted - we have computer room operators that can perform that for us.
