The OP stated that the N-1 Backup was to be migrated immediately. All he has to do to make that happen is assign a Management Class which will migrate to ML2 after 1 day of non-use. There is no batch work necessary. That's basically what we do here with our Image Copies and Archlogs.

As already stated, HSM migrate by command is single threaded. Maybe on of the HSM Guru's could jump in on this thread? Sounds like a great requirement request.
