Lars, I would strongly recommend *against* doing this. What happens if they change their mind in the future and want to put it back?
In my opinion, a better idea would be to define SYSTEM-B to be part of the same SMSPLEX and HSMPLEX. Then *DISABLE* the storage group on SYSTEM-A and the associated HSM functions. Then fire up a second HSM on SYSTEM-B using the same ARCCMDxx member. You will need to look at the ONLYIF keyword to specify HSM functions to be performed only on SYSTEM-B. Unless there is something you haven't mentioned that prevents the above idea, I would re-think your plans for a second SMSPLEX.

Now we are planning to move a certain application to an own LPAR "SYSTEM-B" The application has it's own STORGRP and the plan is to start "SYSTEM-B" with a "mini SMS" that will contain the same STORGRP that the application has in "SYSTEM-A". If we need to migrate files with HSM we will send a batch job containing the HSM commands to "SYSTEM-A". Do you have any experience in this scenario ?
