As far as I know the OAM MOVEVOL command is the only standard utility provided to change the location of a set of objects but that is a move of the objects not a copy. It would be possible to write a program to query the DB2 OAM tables and determine the names of the objects on the optical volume and use the OSREQ macro to Retrieve the objects and Store them in a different Storage Class or different Collection Name. Since OAM manages the optical storage I don't know that there is any way to control the volume onto which the object is stored so in effect you could copy the objects but you may not wind up actually copying everything from one volume to one new volume.
So, it depends on your true requirement. If you just want to remove an optical disk and keep the objects, use MOVEVOL. Otherwise look to the OSREQ macro and write a program to do what you need.
