Thank You for the Info, sounds like a workable solution!.  Can't wait till we 
are on 5.x which provides more move data flexibility with move node data.

Thanks again!

Charles
If your old  tape storage pools were collocated and you have not got too many,
then you could reasonably easily identify the tape volumes in the old pools that
still hold data
select distinct volume_name,node_name from -
  volumeusage where node_name = upper('$1') -
  and stgpool_name = upper('$2')
Offhand I do not see any reason why you could not drop the  "and stgpool_name =
upper('$2') "
Should still work
Once you have identified the volumes then a simple move data stg=newstgpoolname
  should do the trick
However if you wnat to do an absolute, this should mean that all your active
copies will be in the new pools.
Will increase your database size though

Subject:  Binding Backup Data to new Mgmt Class



We have created a new domain, policy set, mngt classes and Stgpools for existing
Backup Clients to be a part of a domain that consists of backup clients that are
tested at an off-site DR Facility.  We did an upd node to the existing nodes to
the new dom and the backups are going to the new stgpools.  There is still data
in the stgpools that these systems use to back up to.

We are wondering how can we get all the preexisting data to the new storage
pools so that when a restore takes place it only looks at the new stgpools that
the clients have been backing up to.  We looked at export node (TSM Serv 4.1.5)
but do not remember the existing domain and storage pools that the systems use
to be on as this change was many weeks ago. .  If we were to set the new copy
groups to do an "Absolute" backup would a restore go to the new stgpool or the
old?

Any ideas would be great!!!

Thanks!!!!
