I have recently updated our config so that we amalgamate number of
storage pools
into one.  ALL The data in the previous storage pools was moved via the
MOVE
DATA command to the new storage pool.

With the storage pools empty I assumed that the data in the copy pools
would be
redundant and the tapes would expire. This is not the case.

Reclamation of the copy pool  is simply moving the data to a smaller
number of
tapes.

A BACKUP STG command does not execute as there is no data remain in the
storage
pool to copy.

An AUDIT VOLUME also has no effect.

It appears to me that my only option is to delete the volume which is
ok but I
should not have to do this.

Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a gap in my ADSM
knowledge?
