I misread your note, and I apologize. What I wrote made sense if you
were asking about a node that was already known to TSM but hadn't been
in the collocated pool before you added it to the collocation group. But
you're describing a situation with a new node to TSM, and my answer
makes no sense on that context. I apologize for the resulting confusion.

Actually, on my tape pools I had to enable collocate by group instead of node.

I don't see the point in doing a move nodedata. Why would I want to collocate 
all my data on that node ? If I run a selective on all filesystems, I would 
have a full image of what the syestem looked like today. If I had a DR 
situation in a week , then
I know that most of my data is mostly on one tape. If I do a move nodedata and move all 
the data, I would have a lot more tapes to deal with. I would rather let 
retnetion/expiration come into play and drop the older files and keep my collocation 
"clean".
