I've never seen any reason to have different device classes for primary &
copy pools, assuming they are physically the same device type.

Hi to All,

What is the importance of using a different Device Class for onsite &
offsite storage pools?  Here in our site, we used single device class for
primary & copy pools.  Any feedback is really appreciated.  Thanks.
