OK, unless you have no (zero) clients accessing your server you shouldn't
just update the volume to read-only, it could cause the inbound client's
session to fail... use
vary offline  blah
update vol blah acc=reado
vary online blah
then
move data blah
del vol blah
def vol stgpool blah
(it comes back as readwrite already)

Subject: re-assigning volumes between storage pools


First, my environment is TSM 3.7.3.8 on AIX 4.3.3 running on a 3466 (rs/6000
H50), using SSA disk.

We are starting to see one of our disk pools running out of room before the
nightly process is complete.  We have 3 different disk pools defined, one
for standard data, one for Oracle redo logs, and one for Groupwise data.
Lately the Groupwise disk pool (MAILDISK) has tripped it's 85% mig threshold
before we complete the backups.  Our Oracle log disk pool (ORADISKLOGS) has
room to spare.  I would like to reassign the 9.5gb volume (/bfaa1dk10/bf) to
the MAILDISK pool.  Can someone please verify that the following sequence is
correct, and also let me know if there is any reason not to use the volume
I've noted:

1. upd vol /bfaa1dk10/bf access=readonly
2. move data /bfaa1dk10/bf     (wait for completion)
3. del vol /bfaa1dk10/bf
4. def vol maildisk /bfaa1dk10/bf
5. upd vol /bfaa1dk10/bf access=readwrite

Here is our current setup:

Volume Name               Storage      Device      Estimated    Pct   Volume

                          Pool Name    Class Name   Capacity   Util   Status

                                                        (MB)
