The last couple of times we've done it, we've done it this way - use z/OS - they have the tools and usually more people than the VM side :). I think our z/OS guys used something called TDMF. IBM will also do it for a fee.

We migrated 235 z/VM volumes (approx 60 mod 3's and the rest mod 9's) using FDRPAS running on a z/OS LPAR. This was over 2 FICON channels transfering the data about 10 miles and took 3 1/2 hours. The bad part to this was VM needed to be completely down wince FDRPAS was running on a different LPAR. If your business can withstand the system being down it is definitely the way to go. Volume to volume... easy... no problems..
