As I understood your question you're talking about copypool volumes
(sending primary pool volumes off-site is not an option).
But maybe you are missing that any operations (MOVE DATA and reclamation)
on copy pool volumes is performed using primary pool copies. So when you
try to move data files are taken from primary pools and if those pools are
not collocated you will need to mount several tapes.

    ADSM Smart People,

    AIX:  4.3.2
    ADSM: 3.1.2.1 (I know it's old, but we are upgrading!)
    ======================================================
    I have an ongoing problem that I haven't found the
    solution to in the ADSM archives.

    I will bring a volume onsite, will set that volume
    acc=readw (from 'offsite'). So far, so good. However,
    when I attempt to move data from that volume to another,
    ADSM continues to see it as 'offsite' (even though if
    I do: 'q vo acc=readw', the volume will show up in the
    list AND if I do: 'q vo acc=offsite', the volume will
    NOT show up in that list).

    Consequently, in order to do a 'move data', multiple tape
    mounts are usually required (from the primary pool)--sometimes
    as many as 30 or more tapes to empty the data from one volume!.
    This happens to about 1/3 of the volumes I bring onsite.

    Obviously, it gets very painful after a while, and I would
    love to know if there is a workaround for this little 'problem'.

    Thanks.

    Jim
