I misread your note, and I apologize. What I wrote made sense if you were asking about a node that was already known to TSM but hadn't been in the collocated pool before you added it to the collocation group. But you're describing a situation with a new node to TSM, and my answer makes no sense on that context. I apologize for the resulting confusion.

Actually, on my tape pools I had to enable collocate by group instead of node. I don't see the point in doing a move nodedata. Why would I want to collocate all my data on that node ? If I run a selective on all filesystems, I would have a full image of what the syestem looked like today. If I had a DR situation in a week , then I know that most of my data is mostly on one tape. If I do a move nodedata and move all the data, I would have a lot more tapes to deal with. I would rather let retnetion/expiration come into play and drop the older files and keep my collocation "clean". Rich
