Thanks Mike for the info. We have FDR. I presume it should work just the same. Thanks for answering my SOS.

IMS that is on OSAM is not device dependent but the blksize was probably chosen for 3380 optimum - The DBA's will have to fix it later. If you mark the old volumes as disabled for new allocations, HSM migrate and recall will move to the new packs. I have done it both ways. I would recomend taking your biggest files and moveing them with DF/DSS. SMS will scatter the new allocations accross all the packs so it doesn't really matter how you do it. DB2 image copies, archive logs, IMS image copies and logs are all QSAM and idenpendent of device. blksizes may not be optimum but I doubt it is worth changing. The single biggest issue I remember was blksize on loadlibs. After much discussion, we moved them manually with copymod to set new blksizes.
