Try the 'move node' command which has a 'from' and 'to' parameter for your stgpools. Hope that helps. Run a 'help move node' to get more info.

My goal is to move all the data belonging to a node from one active tape storage pool to another. Over time, with deletions and additions, the firs pool has become populated with much more data than the second, and as a result migrations are occuring outside their scheduled times. My environment: TSM for MVS 5.3.3.0 Running under z/OS v 1.7 I read the manual, and Quick Facts, where I saw this: *--- Node, move across storage pools Use 'MOVe Data', specifying a different storage pool; then reassign the node to the new stgpool's domain. But if a node shares tapes with other nodes: reassign it to the new stgpool, then let the data expire off of the old stgpool. *--- The nodes I want to move do share tapes with other nodes, so I figured that the second option was the way to go. However, that leaves this question: If the node has files that have existed for a long time and never changed, they would never expire off the old pool, so I would always be left with some files in the old pool, correct? How would I move those files without trying to identify them one by one? Here's an example: Trying to move files from NODE1, which is currently owned by the DOMAIN1 Policy Domain, from STGPOOL1 to STGPOOL2. The storage pools belong to separate domains (DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2), both of which have identical management class settings: *------------ How many different versions of the file should be kept? This number of versions 30 Number of days to keep inactive versions This number of days 30 Deleted Files Number of file versions to keep This number of versions 30 Amount of time to keep the last file version This number of days 30 *-------------- Each node has files that haven't changed in more than 30 days, and probably will never change gain. Those files will never expire, so how do I move those?
