I did do a migration like that. I used VM:Secure. Wrote an exec that migrated unaccessed minidisks or minidisks that were accessed read-only. Then I IPL'ed off the new system volumes and moved the remaining disk. Took me a week off and on and a couple hours on a Sunday.

I don't have the numbers on how many DASD I have to copy but is there a product out there that would let me do this migration quickly? I was thinking of IPLing a standalone VM and do DDRs on all the DASD but that alone could also take a long time. Has anyone ever done a DASD migration and what kind of tools did you use? TIA, Al
