Text item: Body.822
I described this procedure at a SHARE session last March.  The handouts are
available
at index.storsys.ibm.com in file /adsm/info/s863074.zip.

A brief summary of the procedure I used is -

1.  define and format the new volumes.
2.  use the reduce db command to do the maximum reduction.
3.  define the new db volumes;  do NOT do an extend.
4.  delete the old volumes one at a time.  ADSM will start a process to
move the pages to the new volumes.  If your volumes are mirrored, the
delete of the 1st of the pair does not start a process.

I used this process to move an 8G database to new dasd in 2 hours.

     Andy,

     If I simply add more db volumes, how do I get ADSM to move the data
     from the old ones to the new ones?  The point is, I don't want to have
     to keep the old db volumes and the new ones.
