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.

Subject: DASD migration


We are doing a DASD migration from HDS to Shark.  

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
