Problem conclusion

• Wildcard characters cannot be used to specify a primary pool
  name with the "SET DRMPRIMSTGPOOL" or "SET DRMCOPYSTGPOOL"
  commands. The corresponding topics in IBM Documentation have
  been updated to remove references to wildcard support for
  primary pool names.
  
  This update will be available in the IBM Storage Protect server
  8.2.1 documentation at the following topic URLs:
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-protect/8.2.1?topic=sc-set-d
  rmprimstgpool-specify-primary-storage-pools-be-managed-by-drm
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-protect/8.2.1?topic=sc-set-d
  rmcopystgpool-specify-copy-storage-pools-be-managed-by-drm
  
  Affected platforms:
  AIX, Linux, and Windows.
