You can do move data on them if you want.

That's true, but with more interest in hands off operation, some sites are
now storing the copypool volumes in separate libraries in different
locations. TSM should at least provide for the option of choosing to use the
primary storage pool or the copypool volume as the source for reclamation.

Very often, the copy pool volumes are off site volumes. It would be quite
impractical to reclaim these volumes. By doing reclamation from the on-site
primary pool, you do not have to return the off-site volumes in order to do
reclamation.

Can any explain to me the reasoning behind having the valid data from a
reclamation on a copypool volume having to be obtained from the primary
storage pool?

It seems to me that it would be much more efficient to copy the valid data
directly from the copypool volume being reclaimed to the target copypool
volume.
