I thought SFS used standard CMS mindisks with a single mode 6 file on them.
If so, just create a new minidisk that has at least the same amount of 4k blocks and copy the CMS file to the new minidisk. Then swap the directory entries. Note that this is a physical copy and can't be used for expanding a pool. But I thought I used it when migrating from 3380s to 3390s a long time ago. You can't just drop a pool or disk as the space has been mapped. You can tell SFS not to use those blocks anymore and create new pools on the new devices. The logical backup and restore should do the trick.

I did not see a less of a slash-and-bum method like add new, quiesce old for new files, migrate to new, then remove old. Did I miss it?
