Hi Gary, Converting FILE/VTL/TAPE to cloud containers (using CONVERT STGPOOL) is not yet supported... although... watch this space, I expect something to be coming along shortly.
Prior to that, you would need to use NODE REPLICATION to send a copy of the data to a target server that stores its data in Amazon S3 cloud containers. As an aside, there is no version "7.1.8" for Spectrum Protect. The latest version is 7.1.7.
