Great, My plan is to shutdown the existing system and do a complete volume backup and then restart the existing system. As the current system is coming up I plan to restore the disks to the new disk units. Then I am going to mount the new units and issue a chroot and then run yast to activate the proper drive units. Then run mkinitrd and zipl and exit from the chroot. I will then shut down the linux system, modify my HMC and try to bring up the old system on the new dasd. If anyone sees a problem with this please let me know.

As long as they are attached to the z/OS system and varied online, we can restore to them.
