That's not true. MOVE NODEDATA works on any storagepool, *if* the
needed volumes are onsite and readable.

Early MOVE NODEDATA versions just moved the data that was available
onsite and readable, and always reported success. If no volumes were
onsite, it would report success with 0 bytes moved. If *some* volumes
were onsite and readable, it would report success with the amount
of bytes moved. In the latter case, there is no practical way to see
if all the data was indeed moved.
