I agree, a move data works on offsite tapes, the primary stgpool volumes are used, just as space reclamaition.
I had a call open with TSM support were space reclamation always failed on several volumes with a database error. The funny thing was when you did a move data on the offsite pool it was successfull, but the next time a backup storagepool was run on the primary storagepool, TSM wanted to backup that file to the copypool. ???? The problem only dissapeared after the files on these volumes expired, so what went wrong could not be traced back by 2nd level TSM support Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Markus Veit An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: Re: Move Nodedata starts and ends without doing anything [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received : 11.11.2003 21:17 Bitte antworten an "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" I concur. I have done MOVE DATA on copypool tapes. TSM simply recopies the original onto new copypool tapes since it knows the real "copy pool tapes" are offsite !

Must be done on = >a primary pool. Says the reference manual: "The data can be located in either a primary or copy storage pool." The problem with the attempted operation was Offsitedness and TSM documentation and programming shortcomings. Richard Sims, BU
