Hello I also believe this to be true. I am in the progress of doing
     the same thing. As long as the data has been copied(migrated) into
     another pool you can delete it. WARNING I am planning on deleting in
     control segments because on my RISC 6000 it will eat up so much cpu
     and for awhile that it will basically be like I am dead to the user
     world if I just deleted every thing with that pool at once.
     As for when it would expire the copy pool that would depend on the
     policy domains defined to those archives. Because from my
     understanding I can have multiple copypools for the same data there by
     letting the policy domain's for the archive policy control it's
     expiring of data. The only way that the copy pool would delete is if I
     deleted the primary tape pool, there by deleting it's ref..
     As for the command that is what I have listed am planning on using for
     my old copy pool.

     I am not an expert but this is what I have planned from the admin.
     ref. that I read.

     Hi Kirsten:

     From my limited knowledge, I think the answer is Yes.  You can delete
     the data from the old pool, since you have moved the data to a new
     location. Raj L. Iyengar

     Subject:        How to remove data of a copy storage pool?

     Hi,

     In one of our ADSM servers, we defined a storage pool "archive"
     with
     the
     next storage pool "archivetape" and the copy storage pool
     "archivecopy"
     of the storage pool "archivetape". Some weeks ago, we assigned to
     the
     storage pool "archive" a new next storage pool "magstartape" with
     its
     copy storage pool "heidelberg". During the last weeks, we moved
     data
     of the old next storage pool "archivetape" to the newly created
     next
     storage
     pool "magstartape". Is it possible to delete this moved data in
     the
     old
     copy storage pool "archivecopy"? When does the data of the old
     copy
     storage pool "archivecopy" expire? Do we have to remove all
     volumes
     of the old copy storage pool "archivecopy" with the command "del vol *
     discard=yes"?


     Best regards,
     Kirsten Gloeer.
