check out the tape:
    checkout libvolume YOUR_TAPE_LIBRARY TAPE123

(note: we also specify the options "remove=bulk" and "checklabel=no" to speed
up things)


mark it offsite:
    update volume TAPE123 access=offsite

These are covered in the TSM Admin and Reference guides.


Are you wanting to send the only copy on-site, or is this the Copypool tapes?

Cheers, Suad
