Arthur,

I run on os/390 without ca1 or any product like it.  We have an stk library too.
To find what volumes to send offsite from the copypool I made a
batch job that runs the update volume command -

upd vol * access=offsite wherestg=9840copy whereacc=readw
wherest=full,filling

This changes the status and lists what volumes it changed.   You can
capture the output and turn it into eject commands.

For the dbb volumes I just have the operator browse the volumehistory file.
If you want to automate this try a select from the volumehistory table.

Hope this helps,
