If you know how to use DDR, quite simple. Just copy the 5.2 volumes to the same number of free volumes. One BIG gotcha that will bite you the next VM IPL is you will now have several duplicate volsers out there, and while the volume you IPL from is known and fixed, it is difficult to predict which half of the other pairs will be picked up and used. You want to disable the "spares" before the IPL. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.
