Create the new disk then mirror the old to new disk and break the mirror.
Remove the old disk and mount the new disk.

Subject: file creation date problem

I am getting ready to move about 1 TB of data from one SAN environment to
another SAN. When I copy the data from the old SAN to the new SAN, the
creation date is set to the current date, which forces a new full backup of
all the data. Does anyone know of a way to copy the data, and force the O/S
to keep the original creation date? I am running WIN2000 on the client and
the server. The TSM client is at 5.5.1.6, and the TSM server is at 5.5.2.01.

Thanks,
