I wish it did this!  In my current 5.3 server, I would love to be able to
move copy storage pool volumes to another copy storage pool.  There is no
present way to do this:

>From help on MOVE NODEDATA, see "quotes":

TOstgpool
     Specifies the name of a storage pool to which data will be moved. This
     storage pool must be in the NATIVE or NONBLOCK data format. This
     parameter is optional and does not apply when the source storage pool
     is a copy storage pool. "That is, if the source storage pool is a copy
     storage pool the destination must be the same copy storage pool".

     If a value is not specified, data is moved to other volumes within the
     source pool.

It would be nice if TSM had commands to better manage our copy storage
pools, such as, delete a *nodes* copy storage pool data (when it is no longer
needed), or to move a *nodes* copy storage pool data fromcpstg -> tocpstg,
making it eaiser to migrate to newer/different media.
