That's what staging is for. Use
nsrstage -S ssid -b pool_name
It is in fact a clone process but it will delete the reference of the old sav e set from the media db.
------------------------
Another posibility is to change the retention date with
nsrmm -e "new_retention_date"
------------------------
If you do not need this SS any longer you may of course delete his entry from the media db
nsrmm -d -S ssid
nsrstage -S ssid -b pool_name

NW does not allow you to clone or copy to a specific media ... if it is not the only media for a pool. There is a good reason for that:
If you tell any program to use a specific media, there is
no alternativity. But if the media is not available or in
use by another process or even full, no program can use
this media - the problem is not NW specific.
So pools make sense - and there is no option to specify a certain media from a pool.
There are two major reasons for pools:
- to separate save set data for various reasons
- to group save sets by their retention policies
---------------------
Staging to the same pool is possible. However, what would be the result? - You only move the save set with a long retention policy to another media in the same pool. This does NOT make sense as you just move but not solve your problem.

It have sense for me ;-)
Everyday, I eject (manually, I'm not alphastor provided) tapes from my silo.
But, last night, NW was hungry of tape, so he took 3 tapes for saving clients. But, due to a problem, he did not fill the 3 tapes in the same way : 2 were greatly filled, and the last was ridiculously filled. So I wanted to migrate my little saveset to one of the 2 tapes in order to eject 2 tapes, and relabelling the third tape for this night, thus saving a tape (SDLT-320).
I confess I mis-ask (!) my problem... The real reason was not the ssretent...
