Hi, There are two products I have heard about recently to move open data sets LDMF (SOFTEK) & DSLM (Mainstar). Anything else out there?
Mainstar Unveils Data Set Level Migrate (DSLM) <http://www.mainstar.com/pdf/015-0123_DSM0101_PR.pdf> Designed to migrate data to larger capacity DASD volumes without disruption. Mainstar announces Data Set Level Migrate (DSLM) <http://www.mainstar.com/products/hsmt/dslm/index.asp> , a new software product that allows for non-disruptive data migration. DSLM will move data at the data set level, independent of DASD manufacturer. To take advantage of new storage devices, companies must migrate critical business application data. When migrating higher capacity volumes, the ability to populate the volumes efficiently is crucial. These requirements are based on one concern: the need to migrate critical business application data seamlessly. DSLM allows non-disruptive migration to occur, transparent to critical business applications. While migrating data using conventional utilities requires lengthy application downtime, DSLM can migrate without disruption, whether you need to utilize larger capacity volumes, relocate data for performance reasons, or reduce data set extents. Critical business applications can remain online while DSLM migrates the data to larger volumes, allowing you to reclaim unit control blocks (UCBs). DSLM can also migrate an ICF user catalog to a different volume seamlessly. For more details, read the Press Release <http://www.mainstar.com/pdf/015-0123_DSM0101_PR.pdf> . Mainstar is seeking a limited number of release sites. If you are interested in an early release version of the software, contact Mainstar at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . At SHARE SOFTEK was promoting LDMF http://www.softek.com/en/products/ldmf/ <http://www.softek.com/en/products/ldmf/> Non-disruptive dataset migration for the Mainframe Combining volumes onto new, large volume capacity storage subsystems is difficult, time consuming and requires taking revenue generating applications offline for the duration of the migration. Logical Data Migration Facility (LDMF) provides the solution you need to migrate and consolidate datasets. LDMF moves datasets without disrupting access to applications. LDMF makes it easy to combine smaller capacity volumes to better utilize storage, helps to increase available system resources, supports implementation of tiered storage, and can be used to improve application performance for service level compliance. The ability to move datasets non-disruptively simplifies many of the challenges associated with data migration today, removing the extensive downtime planning required. Open datasets can be migrated with a completely transparent dynamic swap of meta data.
