TSM 3.7, AIX 4.3.3..

I created a Manual Library, Manual Drive, and 4mm Device Class for my new
TAPEPOOL storage pool. This is for a 4mm IBM tape drive (7206-005). I also
set the next storage pool on BACKUPPOOL to TAPEPOOL and then filled up the
backuppool hoping to get the data to migrate to the TAPEPOOL.. however it
doesn t happen. TSM doesn t tell me to mount a tape (dsmadmc  mountmode) and
a Q STG reveals that the estimated capacity of TAPEPOOL is 0.0. I tried
labeling a tape but it won t let me check it in (because it s a manual
library and checking in tapes is apparently only for automated libraries).
So I must be missing a step here. Why isn t TSM asking me to mount a tape so
that it can migrate the data from BACKUPPOOL over? Appreciate and help
because the manuals I ve been pouring over seem to just say it should do it
when in fact it s not.hat te mode)t the data to migrate to the TAPEPOOL..
however it doesnt
