This is TSM 5.2.x btw. Interesting.. if the primary pool volume is
deleted, would it remove references to the files on the copypool
volume such that a restore wouldn't restore those files by asking for
the copypool volume? Or does that depend on before/after expiration or
before/after reclamation of the copypool volume?

in other words, when do you actually lose access to those files if you
delete the primary pool volume?
