Sridher, Be careful when you give specific advice like that. Sometimes it gives the wrong idea. That being said, I have moved 16 volumes across 11 lpars and they finished as fast as a DFSMSdss dump would have. YMMV depending on how much I/O is going to the volumes you are moving.

It is a parameter in TDMF. This is very important for I/O intensive volumes For JES2 checkpoint, you need to be careful. Read the book or work with z/OS support group on this. If you move one volume/one checkpoint at a time, you should be ok It is a pretty good product. One more thing to remember, if you have replication going on, please be considerate, move few at a time, otherwise, you might overwhelm the replication cycle or miss your RPO Regards, Sridher ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
