1) I have backups from many servers on primary DISK storage pool permanently;
2) I want to move approximately half of nodes to one FILE storage pool;
3) I want to move all remaining nodes to another FILE storage pool;
4) I want to remove empty DISK storage pool (both the FILE storage pools will 
be used permanently instead of DISK pool).

Grigori, you are right about the move data operation working only with
volumes and not nodes. You stated earlier that migration was not going
to work since you wanted to deal with a few nodes data only; are you
going to run move data on the sequential copy pool for the primary data
currently hosted on the DISK? Is your primary data on DISK eventually
sent to a primary sequential pool or you just keep in on DISK?

Hello Bertaut,

FILE storage pool is a primary storage pool, not  a copy storage pool.

MOVE DATA is working with volumes, not with nodes (it is not suitable at
all for my case).

MOVE NODEDATA requires both sequential storage pools: source and target.
It just gives an error about DISK storage pool. RECONSTRUCT=No is a
default option.

I have decided to move all nodes to FILE storage pool by MOVE DATA, and
then move selective nodes to another FILE storage pool by MOVE NODEDATA.

I hope it will work, but I need to find enough disk space.

Kindest regards,

Grigori,
Regarding the points you made below:

>>> It is impossible to use MOVE DATA, because it is working with volume
level and each DISK volume contains data of many nodes <<< You won't be
able to move data if you are trying to move data from any primary
storage storage pool to a secondary storage pool.

>>> it is impossible to use MOVE NODEDATA, because it is not working
with DISK storage pools <<<
You are correct if you are trying to use aggregrate reconstruction on
the DISK storage pools.

>>> it looks that it is impossible to use EXPORT NODEDATA / IMPORT
NODEDATA, because node will be imported into the same storage pool <<<
The export/import node commands involve using a source and target TSM
servers. I doubt that is the objective you are trying to achieve in this
situation.

Is your FILE storage pool a copy storage pool? If so, you wouldn't be
able to move the data from the primary DISK pool to the copy FILE pool.

Good luck.

Dear TSMAdmins,
We have TSM 5.5.3.0 under AIX 5.3-09-02.
Suddenly I have faced problem moving node data from DISK primary storage
pool to FILE storage pool on the same server:
1)     it is impossible to use MOVE DATA, because it is working with
volume level and each DISK volume contains data of many nodes;
2)     it is impossible to use MOVE NODEDATA, because it is not working
with DISK storage pools;
3)     it looks that it is impossible to use EXPORT NODEDATA / IMPORT
NODEDATA, because node will be imported into the same storage pool (at
least I do not know how to do this).
How can I move node data from DISK to FILE storage pool?
Kindest regards,
