Are you confusing volume pools & storage units?  I can see hardware
encryption tied to a tape drive set much more than a volume pool.

That said, if you really want to get rid of volume pools, be careful
with data that doesn't live together well.  Oracle data & oracle
archived redo should live on different tapes.  If you bounce a data tape
off the floor, theoretically you could recover the database still from
an earlier set of data & a bunch of archived redo, just keep rolling the
database forward with it.

If you destroyed data & archived redo on the same tape, you're screwed
in your ability to get your data back.

With that in mind, I guess I endorse the idea of slightly different
retentions as a way of segregating data without using volume pools.
