One of our older ADSM servers DB hit 98% over the weekend.  I am putting
together a proceedure to grow its DB.  As far as I can tell these are the
steps I need to take.  First here is the hardware and software levels.

RS6k F30
ADSM 3.1.2 level 40  (has been running smooth as silk for years)upgrade to 4
in progress
AIX 4.1.5 (I know its old)
Breece Hill Q47 w/3 DLT 4000 (attached as standard SCSI Library)
All Storage pools and DB vols are on Raw Logical Volumes.
We use ADSM mirroring for DBs

These are the steps I've come up with.

1.      Move Data from chosen storage pool vols

2.      Vary off the volumes I have already chosen from ADSM

3.      Delete the vols from ADSM

4.      In Smitty rename the volumes to reflect new status of DB vols
instead of stg vols

5.      Peform DSMFMT for DB on newly renamed vols.

6.      Add vols (1 primary and 1 mirror) to ADSM DB

7.      Extend DB

Anybody see anything wrong with these steps?
