Make sure your reuse delay is set to something reasonable for your offsite storage pool. Then start a program of "delete vol xx discard=yes" of the tapes in the old non-collocated offsite storage pool. Delete a few and then do a "backup stg new-onsite-collocated-pool new-offsite-collated-po

It turns out that what I missed is that on AIX for 3592 drives you have to enable 8 characters at the 3584 AND via a "smitty devices" on the Library Media Changer (smc0) which translates to a " chdev -l 'smc0' -a tsm_barcode_len='8' ". David >
