        >We are installin 10 new IBM 3592 tape drives, to be used primarily as
        offsite storage units.  I am wondering about the best way to incorporate
        these into the system.  My thinking was:
        
        Create new Copypool
        Backup the Disk Pool to the New Copypool
        Shrink the Old Copypool by Ettrition (sp?)
        Eventually Copy the Old Copypool Tapes to the New Copypool
        
        Am I missing anything?  Is there a better way to do it?  Thanks for any
        information.<
        
         
        Once you complete the backup of the primary tape pool (or disk pool if you 
don't have a primary tape pool), you can completely delete all volumes in the old 
copypool. This is because you'll have a complete copy of your primary storage pool in 
both copy pools.
         
        Incidently, there is no way (that I can think of) to copy data from one copy 
pool to another copy pool.
