Bill, Did you ever get this resoved? I'm guessing that the tape you're trying to do move data on has a file split across tapes and you don't have one of those tapes onsite. So it goes to the primary pool instead to find the data.
David Ehresman >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/16/05 9:26 PM >>> TSM server 5.2.4.4 on AIX 5.2 Due to a capacity "issue" with my libraries, some of my onsite primary pool tapes are not resident in my library. So to reclaim my offsite tapes, I've been checking in tapes that have 90% reclamable space and doing a move data on them. I've noticed a couple times where the tape is in the library, ACC=READO, but when I issue the MOVE DATA command against the tape, the tape is never mounted and the primary pool tapes (that are in the library) are used instead. The tapes were originally moved offsite with the MOVE DRMEDIA command. I brought them back, checked them into the library made them ACC=READO. I don't understand why TSM isn't doing a tape-to-tape copy?? Bill Boyer "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional" - ??
