If you install DFSMS (free feature of VM), you can do massive moves: - with ISPF you can for example request that volume xyz be migrated to some other volume - without ISPF, you get a linemode DFSMS MOVE command to move a single minidisk Both methods internally use the DFSMS COPY command when migrating to same or bigger size minidisks, and DFSMS COPY is much faster than what DIRMAINT uses by default (FORMAT & COPYFILE); DFSMS COPY can even outperform DDR.
