Actually, on my tape pools I had to enable collocate by group instead of node.
I don't see the point in doing a move nodedata. Why would I want to collocate all my data on that node ? If I run a selective on all filesystems, I would have a full image of what the syestem looked like today. If I had a DR situation in a week , then I know that most of my data is mostly on one tape. If I do a move nodedata and move all the data, I would have a lot more tapes to deal with. I would rather let retnetion/expiration come into play and drop the older files and keep my collocation "clean".

I think you want a MOVE NODEDATA command to move the second node's data into the collocated storage pool. As it is, when the client runs what you call a "full incremental," the client sees that most of the data is already on the TSM server -- and it doesn't care that it's not in the storage pool you want it in. (Why should a client care about storage pools, right?). Hope this helps, Nick
