You probably want to backup a point-in-time copy of the volumes, so you can just SUSPEND the PPRC relationship. This freezes the copy and makes it read/write so you can relabel (CLIP) it. After the backup, you can RESYNC the PPRC copy, which just copies tracks updated since the SUSPEND. -- snip --
If you CLIP the secondary DASD, just remember that a subsequent RESYNC will not copy the label since that wasn't changed on the primary subsystem. You may want to CLIP it back.
