It's so easy to move using TSM processes, why would you want to use some
other utility.  The good thing about using TSM to do the move is you don't
even have to take the TSM server down.  All you have to do is allocate and
format the new volume, then add it as a mirror and delete the old volume.

Is there anything internal for a OS/390 TSM DataBase "volume" (i.e. the
VSAM LINEAR d/s), that prevents me from moving it using a standard system
utility ?

Could I move the linear d/s, using FDR or DSS  or are there internal
location-type pointers that would destroy the DB if pyhsically moved using
non-TSM processes ?
