Thanks Rainer

But I'm wondering if I'm still in a position to do that.

Here's what we did. Rename our original tapepool and copypool to tapepool_3590 
and copypool_3590.

Then created new tapepool and copypool with device class of 3592.

I then went through the long process of moving data from the tapepool_3590 
volumes to tapepool volumes (now using 3592 media), one tape at a time. This 
has all been done.

So now I have all the old on-site primary pool 3590 data on 3592 media, and all 
offsite data being written to 3592 as well.

Will this have taken into account the old 3590 offsite copypool_3590 media?

Thanks again

Hi,
first step:
     backup stg primary-pool new-copy-pool
If any data in this first step may not be readable from the primary-stg
you still can restore that data from the old copy-pool,
so be sure that the first step has finished without failures

and then second step:
   delete the old copy-storagepool-volumes with craeting and executing a macro 
del.mac
  consisting of  lines like
  'del vol xxx discardd=yes wait=yes'
  ... for every volume in that old copy-pool
  you easily start that macro from a dsmadmc-shell using the '-itemcommit' 
option
  as  'macro del.mac'

regards
Rainer
