You have to set Migcontinue to No and it should work the way you want.

Subject: Storage Pool Parameter: Migration Delay question


Hi Everyone,

I would like to have 30 days of data retained within the cdlb_aix (onsite
cdl) storage pool before it gets migrated to the tape_aix pool (onsite
physical tape).  I have defined the migration delay parameter to be 30 and
I just want to make sure that I understand what I have defined.  Will the
data remain in cdlb_aix for 30 days unless the pool hits its 90% full
mark?  And do I have to run a migration job to move the data from cdlb_aix
to tape_aix? Or will it automatically move to cdlb_aix after 30 days?
Thank you in advance!
