Bradley,
        Did you try issuing a Move DATA command ??

MOVE DATA /home/gm-share/adsm/stgpool.1 stgpool=xxxxxx    (xxxxx = name
of disk storage pool).

Even though this shows 0% used in your report, ADSM will still complain
if caching is enabled as there might
be cached entries on that volume.  You might need to put the volume
online - if you do, don't forget to change the
access to readonly.
