Yep!

     What I've done is I have two administrative schedules DISKPOOL_LOW and
     DISKPOOL_NORMAL.
     I set DISKPOOL_LOW (an upd stg diskpool high=10 low=0) to run about 1
     hour after the last of the backups seem to finish.  Then I set
     DISKPOOL_NORMAL (an upd stg diskpool high=80 low=50) to run a few
     hours after the diskpool_low.  Then I'll have an admin sch to perform
     expiration (if you set the expiration interval to 0 it takes a manual
     "exp inv" to trigger it) then after about another hour I do a BACKUP
     DB, then I run reclamation until the next wave of backups.

You're on track Roger,   migration is triggered by lowering the threshold,
then resetting it to its original higher level (in my case 95%).   One
suggestion, don't lower it to 0%.  I did this to trigger migration and found
if a client is backing up when migration triggers, the migration never ended
until the client backup finished.   1% allowed the migration to finish, then
the client backup continued until finished.   Hope this helps you.
