We also recently purchased new disk (SSA) for the ADSM DB and had to move the 
existing DB vol data to the new areas. I followed the advice on this list which 
was to:
add new db vols on target area
then did a delete dbvol..........this moved the data from the old dbvol to the 
new dbvol
then deleted the old logical volumes via smit

Hello,

I've been browsing the archives of the ADSM group, and haven't found a
confirmation, hoping someone knows if I'm going down the correct path.

Basically I have three DB vols spread onto seperate disks.  I just got a
new ADSM AIX server and have transitioned the old stuff to the new
without a problem.

Now, the new server has nice big internal drives.  I'd like to combine
the three volumes of DB I had before into one bigger volume

My theory is that I create my new big db vol, then mirror my db to it.
Then break the mirror.  My worry is, do I have to make seperate mirrors
for each volume, or can I make a single mirror of three volumes.

The other theory is to backup the DB and restore it.

Please let me know if anyone has accomplished this and how.
