Remote replication? My guess is that replicating an entire volume would have less overhead than doing each dataset on the volume separately. I'd likely use TDMF/FDRPAS when moving from one storage array to a new one, if the volumes were the same size. Using LDMF might be nice for consolidating from multiple, smaller, volumes to a larger volume (like the -3 to -9 in the subject). I would guess that using LDMF to move a dataset requires that the dataset be recatalogued when the copy is complete. I also wonder how they do it. Perhaps with the "concurrent copy" capability to somehow "trap" when a change is made to the source dataset? -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
