No, actually I'm looking to move one 3390-3 to one 3390-9. These particular volumes are pretty much full and it's starting to cause us application problems. The application in question has its own means of parceling out which data sets go where. I would much prefer to move these things a volume at a time rather than a file at a time.
Changing all the volumes to be SMS-managed and putting them in pools would be the best solution, but there are a couple of minor reasons I don't want to put any effort into that if I can simply move some of them to mod 9s and be done with it for a while. SMS management of these volumes will come, though. Oh yes, it will come. Jon <snip> Moving the DSNs with DSS/FDR should be easy enough. You shouldn't need SMS, but hard to image that kind of volume and not SMS. You can tell DSS to move to a pool of DASD, you specify the VOLSERs and the amount of space to use. But your scenario seem more like a logical move, and recatalog, of 2-3 Mod3 to 1 Mod9 but you could move numerous MOD3 to several MOD9. If a DSN is allocated, it won't move. So a repetitive process should get them all moved. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
