I can't think of any way to redesignate a copy pool as a primary pool.
However, you normally wouldn't need to; ADSM just looks at which tapes are
currently marked as being available for mounting.
In a disaster recovery situation, you are presumably working at a recovery
site, and all your copy pool tapes are there with you (the primary tapes
having gone up in flames or under in the earthquake, whatever).
All you have to do after rebuilding your ADSM data base at your recovery
site is to run "update volume * wherestgpool=your-copypool-name
access=readonly", and "update volume * wherestgpool=your-primary-pool-name
access=unavailable".
Then when you try a RESTORE, ADSM will see that the primary pool tape is not
available, but the copy pool tape is available. So it will automatically
call for the copy pool tape when it's needed for the restore.
