Maybe you can define a third bigger dbvol copy, then delete one of the
smaller ones and define another bigger dbvol copy and then delete the
last small dbvol?

If your Dbvbols are not in a hardware raid or mirrored environment,
the correct (or paranoid) procedure would be to create a new 12 GB
dbvol AND a 12 GB dbvol mirror -- and THEN delete the 9 GB dbvol and
the 9 GB mirror. It takes a bit longer, but it is the clean way to
go.


Actually, you're still exposed there.

The procedure goes:

DEF DBVOL new
DEF DBCOPY new new-copy

DEL DBVOL old-copy

[D'oh! old is now unmirrored]

DEL DBVOL old

and for however long it takes you to copy, you stay unmirrored.

Now, this is not a huge exposure, in the scheme of things.  But it
-is- an exposure, and I don't see a reason for it.  I've wished aloud
here in the past for something like 'EMPTY DBVOL' so you can move data
off a mirrored volume onto other mirrored vols.
