Robert, Yes, that's how I've done it. Works fine. You can also have multiple migration processes running, if you have the resources. The downside is that migration is by node, so tapes won't be emptied individually, but all data for a node will be moved, then another node, then another node. If this is a bad use of resources for you, you can do "move data VOLSER stg=NEWSTGPOOL" to control the flow a little tighter, and get tapes back to scratch faster.
