Data can be moved from volume to volume within a single copy pool, but
cannot be moved from one copy pool to another. 

Besides, if you've regularly backed up your primary pools to the new
copy pool, there isn't any need. You'll want to write a script that runs

        del vol <vol_name> discarddata=yes

for each volume in the old copy pool, to clean out TSM database entries
for data stored on the old pool.
