Sandra, The delete dbvol should work on a mirrored volume without failing. The contingency if it doesn't would be a database restore. On a non-mirrored volume, TSM will check for sufficient space on other volumes and fail the command if there is not enough space, but that's not what you're doing.
If you plan on running un-mirrored until you add more raw disk to the system, you can do your del dbvol, then define dbvol of the volume you just deleted - no need to delete it from the filesystem or reformat it.

The TSM DBs are on mirrored volumes and I don't have enough spare space to create additional mirrored volumes. I'd like to break the volumes and then add more space but I can't afford any down time for this. I can't seem to find any considerations, contingencies in case DEL DBVOL fails. I just want to cover all my bases. Anyone with insight as to what could go wrong and some detailed steps on doing this would be appreciated.
