Gene, I know what they do, how they are similar and different. Move Data moves data from a tape. Move Node Data moves the data for a node on whatever tape it resides on to another tape in another (or the same) storage pool. (Achieving something similar to a node collocation.)
- My question is, does the mechanism of moving the objects work the same as reclamation and move data (or not, as the documentation hints at). - Do the source volumes have to be onsite? - Does it work more like "Restore Volume" run for a primary pool volume, where TSM generates a listing of CopyPool media that is required to perform the restore?
