Take a look at DRM on the VM DOWNLOAD pages. I think that has something that will do what you are looking for..

Subject: Minidisk defragger?
I find, after using DIRMAINT for a long time, that I actually have
quite a lot of free DASD, but it's carved up into little islands
scattered around my volumes. If I could consolidate those gaps into
fewer, larger gaps, I'd be in much better space for allocating disks
for Linux guests.
Is there a zero-cost tool that will do this defragmentation for me?
I mean, in essence it's a pretty simple tool: look at your list of
free cylinders, do some sort of best-fit pass to associate minidisks
with gaps, and then use DDR to copy them from one to the other.
Having done that, touch up the MDISK definitions in DIRM, and Bob's
yer uncle.
Has anyone done this (3390 minidisk is all I really require) in
something that doesn't actually have a licensing fee associated with it?
Adam
