Nick,
Your answer prompted me to remember something I had been pondering.
When migration is performed, the strategy is to determine which client in
the pool is occupying the most space and migrate all of that client's data
and recheck the thresholds and proceed if necessary. In the case of tape
pools, is the same strategy employed or will an entire tape be migrated,
whether it has multiple clients or not?

Larry,
No problems, but rather than rename the old pools, you can just use new
names for the new pools and point the nextpool settings to the new pools
(unless there are a number of management classes pointing straight to the
tape pools). I'd then set the reclaimation threshold for the old pools to
100, so that expiration is helping you empty the volumes. Then just do the
Move Data's as the resources are available. You may also want to look into
the "Reclaimpool" setting, and how to configure it. If the Reclaimpool has
a nextpool set to the new storage pool, the reclaim process can move the
data for you.
