Thank you Mark, and Alan, and Gregory...
I think our problem is going to be more one of boredom rather than
encountering insurmountable problems, as DDR plods its way through
several hundred volumes. Originally I thought we were going to have to
cope with changing device numbers on the new system, which I believe
would have posed a much more interesting problem, but I think I've
managed to persuade the storage admin that this simply isn't practical.
In any case, it looks as though I will have plenty to occupy my time
between now and the new year.
Thanks again,
Ray

Speaking of disk address changes... how does one cope with that? We have
a new DS8700 to replace our ancient DS8000s, and I'm wondering what is
the best way to migrate our LPAR Linux servers to the new box? I'm sure
this must have been done before, so I'd be very interested to learn how
others have managed this.
How you cope is going to be determined by how the file systems are referenced
in /etc/fstab, and whether LVM is being used or not. What does your setup look
like?
