I did this several times working elsewhere. Simplest way would be to have the disks you want cleared assigned to a POOL name different than where you want it to go. Then use the VMSECURE MAINT MANAGE DISKMOVE to the new pool. Disks linked r/o will move and the disks can be reclaimed later. Sorry I don't still have the execs I used to do this but it shouldn't take much to put them together. VMSECURE MAP volser, use that to build the VMSECURE MAINT MANAGE DISKMOVE commands.

Is there anyone who has already invented this wheel using VM:Secure or is there a VM:Secure command or utility that I am not seeing when I open the manuals? Regards, Richard Schuh
