Leave your dirmc disk storage pool just the way it is now.

Information that goes into your dirmc pool is also stored in your
standard disk storage pool, which you are now migrating to tape. The
reason you leave the dirmc disk pool in place is so that when you have
to perform large-scale restores, the directory structure information is
restored from disk; this is much faster than restoring from tape.
