You CAN use Move Data on copy storagepools but only to move to other volumes in the SAME storagepool. You cannot Move Data copy storagepool data to a different storagepool.

You can move data for one or more nodes or for a group of collocated nodes. You can also move selected file spaces for a single node. The data can be located in a primary storage pool, a copy storage pool, or an active-data pool.
