The original question was >whether there's a way to move the pages later. Yes, I understand that. If you can/are willing to IPL, great, none of this is a concern. The problem that exhibits is that once you're up, there is the situation that there are internal-to-CP pages out there that no amount of virtual machine fiddling can do anything about -- you end up with a volume that has 1 CP page on it, so you can't do anything with that volume except IPL with DRAIN records. There's no way to ask CP to please move that one page so I can get that volume offline without doing a full IPL. > If and when Live Guest Relocation comes out, "If. If is good." But anyway. IPL is a very big hammer to fix something like this. It's an annoying thing that bugs me, which causes me to pick at it to see if there is a solution short of wait and see.
