Michael, You can move the volume with PPRC and use PDAS to point to the new location.
It's no different to using a volume manager to create a RAID-1 copy and then deleting the old copy, providing you bought a volume manager with the OS. But none of that will solve moving the file while it's open. I would like to know what other OS supports transparently moving an open file without disrupting the application that has it open. How would I do that with a spreadsheet or word document, or an Oracle redo log using basic windows or UNIX utilities only?
