    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    Consider a tier by age model. Such as to not tier until after 24 or 48 hours, and then have replication run on a shorter frequency.
    Please engage with your IBM account team to get assistance with this.

    hi
    not sure that I understand the issues?
    are you using a primary pool (deduplication storage pool) with a backend tape storage pool?
    and you are migrating from the primary deduplication storage pool to the backend tape storage pool
    and at the same time you are using replications ? replicate node xxx, to send data to another backup server

    isn’t that command supposed to send the data missing to the other backup server, so if a file has been migrated to tape and yet not replicated, than it has to read back from tape
    or perhaps I miss understood this

    regards Tomas
