Have you looked at move data? You can move data from a volume to a pool. We frequently use this to move data when we change storage systems.

Shortly after this was originally setup at the start of this year data from the DIRMC storage pool was migrated to tape due to the settings for the DIRMC storage pool not being correct. Now 9 months later the DIRMC storage pool is still only at 3% of capacity. The migrated data is still on the tape which is only at 0.2% of capacity. This is basically wasting a tape. What are my options to free up this tape and make it a scratch tape again? Can I migrate the data from the tape back to the primary disk pool? From what I have read it appears not. What happens if I delete the data on the tape? Do I have any other options?
