Hi, I went to the procecess recently, and regarding if you do not change the volumes sizes, it will work pretty smooth using the 3rd volume copy. If you however want to consolidate several smaller volumes into one (as I did), then you need to define an additional volume including a copy of the same size as the original ones, and then delete the old ones. This will kick in a process that moves the data off from them. For the log volumes, please note that there is a size restriction and you might need shrink it first to small temporary volumes (when the util is low), remove the original ones, and then extend the log with the new ones.
Regarding the diskpool, I would also create new ones, set the old to readonly, and then start to move the data using "move data volname stgp=same_stgp.

For the disk pools, you can define the new disk pools on the local drives, then make the SAN disk pools read only, and, if you have some time, they will shrink by themselves, then you can issue move data command to move whats left.
