Hi Zoltan.
Been there done that, yes it works as documented.
I think the deal is that unlike the activelog, the old files in the
archivelogdir only get accessed during a DB backup or a DB recovery.
So as long as you don't try to do a DB backup before you move the old files,
you're good.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Moving archlog folder
One of my servers is having disk "issues" and it happens to be where the
tsmarchlog folder is. The Linux Administrators Guide says to:
Moving only the archive log
You can move only the archive log from one directory to another.
1. Halt the server.
2. Create an new archive log directory. For example: mkdir
/archivelog2
3. Update the dsmserv.opt option file for the new archive log directory.
For example: archlogdir /archivelog2
4. Restart the server.
5. Move the archive logs from the old directory to the new directory.
Preserve any subdirectory structure. Use and verify a recursive copy directory
command. For example: cp -r /archivelog/* /archivelog2 6. Optional: Remove
the old directory.
I am questioning that it says to "Restart the server" before copying the
contents of the "old directory"????? I would have thought you needed the
old directory BEFORE starting up the server? Or do I completely NOT understand
how this works (my suspicions) since I am not a DB2 person....
