Unfortunately, that is the concensus. IMHO, these features are missing from TSM:
1. Move COPYPOOL volumes/data 2. Deleted the COPYPOOL data for a NODE !

Well, if you are trying to move all the data from 3590's to LTO cartridges, there is certainly no means to do it except to rewrite the data! Creating the LTO2 copy pool will take exactly one command: backup stgpool primarypool lto2pool Naturally it will take a long time to complete, but it can be cancelled and restarted as needed. Once that is done, getting the 3590 vols deleted is easy; that is what macros are for! Run this: select 'delete volume ', volume_name, 'discarddata=yes wait=yes' from volumes where stgpool_name='your_3590_copypool_name' It will create the DELETE commands for you; run the results as a macro. Only gotcha: This could take a long time to run because it hits the DB hard, purging all the file entries from the copy pool. Don't run it during the time your normal expiration or DB backup runs.

I have a need to move all copypool data from a 3590 pool to an LTO2 pool ! IIRC, unless things have changed, the only choice I have is to re-backup the primary pool to the new copypool and then manually "delete volume ... discarddata=yes" for the 300+ volumes in the old copypool ! Please tell me there is an alternative !
