I have used DRM commands just to manage DB backups in some cases, without moving around copypool volumes. Just identify the volumes you wish to work with and specify volume names with your move drm commands.
I use a small script to query the volhist t=dbb and identify the volume names to manage Then move drm (volume) tostate=vault To bring back expired db volumes, move drm * wherestate=vaultretrieve tostate=onsiteretrieve checkin libv lalalib status=scratch search=yes labels=barcode I guess its a choice of using empty copypools etc.. to get TSM to work as you like, or using supporting scripts to achieve what you need. Whichever is preferable.

My purpose is, in fact, to manage dbbackup media retention through drm. When I look at set drmcopy, I can see that it is not possible to set a value that tell TSM not to manage any of the copy stgpools. When I look at move drmedia, it seems to be impossible to make a move drm whithout moving copy stgpools media. >>-MOVe DRMedia--volume_name------------------------------------> ... .-Source--=--DBBackup-------. >--+---------------------------+--------------------------------> '-Source--=--+-DBBackup---+-' +-DBSnapshot-+ '-DBNOne-----' Source Specifies whether to include database backup volumes for processing.
