Use Mirroring,
     Set up a mirror for the first volume of an original DB once the mirror
is established delete the original. You've now moved the DB with no
disruption.

Subject:  Database volume move


Due to problems with DSMFMT on EMC DASD, (OS/390 2.9, TSM 4.1.2), which
required a ZAP to DSMFMT, I now must move database volumes.  From what I've
seen, it looks like I have to delete a Database volume in order to move it.


I've started a FULL database backup.  I'm now looking for a way to safely
move a database volume by 1.)  Copy each database volume dataset to an
existing, preformatted database volume dataset.
2.) Point ADSM to the new database volume dataset.
3.) Run ADSM with the database volume dataset to make sure it functions
properly.
4.) Delete the old database volume dataset.

What's the best way to accomplish this in OS/390 2.9, TSM 4.1.2?

Any hints?
