Ionocopy "on" is what you want.  The fact that you had this option "off"
at one time, as I did, exposes you to the data corruption problem.  This
is kind of good news since there is a PTF that can be applied to recover
the data.  There is also a PTF available which includes a fix for the
ANR999D errors which prompted the use of IONOCOPY in the options file in
the first place.

I recommend you contact IBM support immediately.

I was first told to put in ionocopy off in my server options file to
resolve one problem and then latter I was told to remove this option as
it cause other problems.  When I query ionocopy option it now shows on.
Your statement is if it is enable then remove it from your option file.
Is 'ON' enable or disable, sorry the query shows on or off and not
enable or disable.

Contact support.  I had a similar situation.  Here's the synopsis:

The data is corrupt but may be recoverable via a PTF.  New storage pools
defined with 5.3 will verify the data before moving to a different pool.
If the data is corrupt it will not move the data so recovery efforts can
be initiated.

There is a known problem which you may be experiencing and is
recoverable.

All your disk pools should have the "verifyData=True" option setting
which can only be viewed via "show sspool".
If "verifyData=False" then "upd stg xxxxx VERIFYDATA=YES" should be
issued.   This option will give you the error below instead of moving
corrupt data to another pool.

Issue "q opt ionocopy" from the server.  If this is enable remove it
immediately from your server options file.
