We have used TDMF (from z/OS) to move z/VM DASD with no problems. Naturally the z/VM system(s) are down during the move. The length of the down time will depend on how much DASD is to be moved and how many TDMF "tasks" you run at one time.

There should not be any problems IPLing zVM 5.3 or 5.4, right ?
