Do the renames (MAINT-->MAINTOLD and MAINTX-->MAINT) in the source directory and update the object
directory. That will put both into effect at the same time. With no problems with new users log on.
If they logon before the DIRECTXA command they get the old disks and if the logon after the command
is issued they get the new disks.
The only problem is that there are service machines that are not normally ever logged off. (Like
TCPIP, VTAM, OPERATOR, SFS servers, etc.) If any of those use one of the disks you moved then they
would need to be restarted. Restarting some of these could cause an outage.

I would not do step 6 - updating all your users to MAINTX
would be a nightmare.
What you need is a 30 second window for problems, while you
rename MAINT to MAINTOLD and MAINTX to MAINT.
Then all new links will get the new versions.
I don't remember the setting that prevents any new users from
logging on (SET MAXUSERS 0?) but try it before the change so
that no one will get messed up, and remember to fix it
immediately afterwards.
