Maybe I'm not understanding - but if you will be moving res/spool/page/guest -- then what's on page doesn't really matter -- it's cleared between IPL's and you will be IPLing off a new res pack .. no? PAGE and TEMP you normally don't worry about.. just make sure the new volumes are formatted/allocated correctly.
