Instead of "ML1 very very large", make that "referenced days until migrate" large (FSVO large) and migrate directly to ML2. Tape migration has it's place (especially with the large capacity of tape now) but it doesn't make sense to constantly migrate and recall the same data. Didn't we just discuss this recently?
