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....
