One more thought. We used to have a mix of SSD and spinnys. We no longer
have that, so I cannot experiment. However, I recall there was a time when
I could alter the UNIT attribute and the move would be made immediately.
There were other times (either through OS upgrades or PTFs) when I would
change the attribute and it required a save/restore to make the effect felt
(never tried your RGZPFM).

Anway, I see two possible solutions based on what you find to be the
behavior. If the UNIT attribute happens immediately, you do the restore
and then change the attribute. If it is delayed, then you change the
attribute on the source machine, save, and then change the attribute back,
theoretically not affecting the SSD status on the source machine, since the
affect is not immediate.

Have a customer with SSD and Spinny. Many files in production DB tagged
UNIT(*SSD). Monthly they restore production backup (about 1TB) to
training library and you guessed it all those files pile on the SSDs
overfilling them. Any idea how to make the Restore override the
UNIT(*SSD) and put them on spinny disk?
