Can you send me a copy of it ?

I found the movedat was much easier to control the process. I coded a script that would vary the number of movedata's running concurrently depending upon the number of free/available tape drives. During the day It would run 3-4 movedata's. while during thenight I had 6-8 running. Our problem was the pools were very big (several thousand 3494/3590 tapes), and we wanted to migrate the data asap. If your pools are not very big, the it's probably not worth the effort to take control via movedata's.

I see that with 'move data' I would specify volumes names myself, whereas migration would pick the volumes to move. Are there other differences that would favor one technique over the other? A difference in throughput rate would be especially interesting. The files are moving between data centers, and are now in virtual volumes. The target tape pool consists of physical 3592 cartridges. This is all running on RHEL 4, TSM 5.4.0.3, over a 10 Gb network link.
