I have used  MOVE NODEDATA  and included all nodes associated with a
particular  non-collocated tape pool,
the advantages are obvious.

Is there any advantage in using MOVE NODEDATA with  co-located nodes ?

Is there any advantage in using MOVE NODEDATA  over reclamation for
co-located nodes ?

Rather than force full backups (with all the traffic and tape issues
that entails, try using the MOVE NODEDATA command to periodically move
all of a node's data to one (or more tapes).
