When you say secondary pool, do you mean copy pool? If these are copy pool tapes, you can simply delete them and the next time a backup stgpool operation is run on the primary pool, the data will be backed up again.
I'm pretty sure you mean that these tapes belong to a copy storage pool. To verify, though, you can issue a query stgpool f=d on the pool these tapes belong to and look for the pooltype parameter. Really, the only issue deleting copy pool volumes is if they are offsite and after you delete them and before you run the backup stgpool command and remove the latest tapes, you have a situation where a disaster could leave you without data. SO be a little bit careful. You know Mr. Murhpy and his law...

This storage pool is set up as a secondary pool so I can't just do a move data on it. If I just delete the volume and discard the data will TSM know that the data needs to be rebacked up or do I need to manaully backup the data again before I delete the volume. OR is there another option I haven't thought of?
