dasdfmt to format the dasd. fdasd to partition it pvmove to move the data.
Yes it have done this and it has worked. One caveat, sometimes you cannot move the entire physical volume with one command. You have to move it a logical volume at a time. But we can cross that bridge when you get there.

Ron, Thank you very much for that suggestion. It looks like it might be exactly what I want! I'm assuming I still need to "fdasd" to perform the intial format of the new drive, then just pvmove? If the answer is "yes", you've just made my day!
