The other guys were right about not extending. If you do, then the 'Maxium
Reduction' will be decreased and you won't be able to move. Moving will not
free up any fragmented space. I've tried it instead of a UNLOAD/LOAD  to
see if it would work and no space was free'd.

Thanks,

Any idea if moving database data between volumes like this will free any
fragmented space as it moves the data?

Cheers

Think for "available" as total space and for "assigned" as maximum used.
This is like hot-spare disk you may or may not put in your RAID array.
TSM allows a volume to be deleted only if it is smaller than Available
minus Assigned, i.e. there is available but unassigned space to move data
from volume to be deleted.

If you don't extend and create more 'available' space, then how is there
space available to move the DB's to when you start deleting volumes?
Before TSM can use DB space, you must extend and make the space available
for use.

Do not extend the DB before doing the delete dbvol.  The delete command
uses the empty, enextended space to move the data from the volumes to be
deleted.
