I've created a staging area on a RAID device attached to my ADSM
server. I have sufficient space on the device for a little more
than one day's worth of backup files, so I would like to
configure my backups to go directly to the disk pool.

In the morning (i.e. after the nightly backup), I would like to
backup the disk pool to a copy storage pool, followed by a
migration of the disk pool to the tape pool which is the next
storage pool in the hierarchy.

I have two questions:

 1) how do I go about *forcing* the migration of data
    from the disk pool to the tape pool?

 2) is it possible, via the ADSM scheduler, to start
    a migration when the backup of the disk pool
    has completed? i.e., is it possible, using the
    ADSM scheduling mechanisms, to make one action
    begin when another action completes?

Thanks. -- Tom
