One thing that bit us was the size of the VTOC's. When you move a mod-3, 15 track VTOC to a mod-9 and use it within SMS or HSM, you will blow out the VTOC. Please make sure you check what the volume will be used for. Something I inherited...Been there done that. Just another FYI.

Many of these volumes were high usage SMS type volumes and most were completed in 7 minutes or less. Charles S. Kammer -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 12:24 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Moving DASD Volumes from Mod3 to Mod9 This is just a curiosity question. We will be upgrading our Storage array and at that time the dasd will be carved out as MOD 9's. Currently we are 99% Mod 3s. Is there a way without taking an outage to move 3 MOD 3s onto one mod 9? I was hoping that TDMF, or DFDSS might work but I think they need control of the files. Any suggestions?
