This message might be issued during the definition or updating of a storage pool, or during BACKUP or RESTORE STGPOOL commands, or in other such situations when it is determined that data on WORM volumes might be moved to other media. It names a storage pool that does not contain WORM FILE volumes.

When it is issued during the DEFINE and UPDATE STGPOOL commands, it indicates that the storage pool being defined or updated is being configured with WORM FILE volumes (Reclamationtype is SnapLock), but other storage pools being specified on the storage pool definition (for example, the Next or Reclaim or Copy storage pool parameters) do not contain WORM FILE volumes (Reclamationtype is Threshold). Such configurations might cause data on those WORM FILE volumes to be moved to a storage pool that does not support WORM FILE volumes.

For other situations, this message might be issued when there will be a movement of data from a storage pool with WORM FILE volumes (Reclamationtype is SnapLock) to a storage pool that does not have WORM FILE volumes (Reclamationtype is Threshold).

The server allows this type of movement, but the customer needs to be aware that if data is moved from a WORM FILE volume to another type of media, the data may no longer be protected from inadvertent or malicious deletion. In addition, if this data is on WORM volumes to meet data retention and protection requirements for certain legal purposes and is moved to other media, the data might no longer meet those requirements.
