Move node data from/to container storage pool

Migration of data from/to directory-container storage pool to/from disk or tape based storage pool is not possible.
We need the ability to choose where the data reside and move them as needed without using the node replication feature that requires another TSM server/instance.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    In addition to data movement between "legacy" storage pools and Containers, we need to have the ability to move data between container pools as needed. This includes:

    Directory to Directory
    Cloud to Cloud
    Cloud to Directory

    Currently, Spectrum Protect provides the capability of tiering data from a Directory container pool to a Cloud container pool, but there is no way to retrieve that data out of the cloud if needed. Reasons this might be necessary:

    1. Organization changes cloud service provides, and needs to move data from one cloud pool to another

    2. Data sets that have been tiered to the Cloud container pool has been deemed as sensitive data per Federal or Local government legal requirements, and cannot be stored in Public Cloud storage.

    3. Similar to #2., data is being replicated from on-prem storage pool to another SP server using Cloud container pool, and has been deemed as sensitive data per Federal or Local government legal requirements, and cannot be stored in Public Cloud storage. The data needs to be moved to a separate Directory pool that is not replicated to a Cloud pool
