I've been thinking about this some more, and there may be a solution acceptable to the customer, on the assumption we're talking about an IBM TS7700. When you insert new VM volumes, set the SC and SG in the UI. All those tapes will end up in the cloud once they are used. You might want to have two ranges and two TMS pools, one for each range. This will get you a pool of tapes that stay resident and pool that reside in the cloud. If you just want one pool with everything in the cloud, then you need to change the management constructs of existing volumes. That can be done in the UI, but they won't move to the cloud until the next time they are mounted. (Since VM doesn't have the LIBRARY command, you can't do a PARTRFSH MMOUNT.) So, it *can* be done, but any management has to be done via the UI. The TMS cannot adjust the management constructs.
