FYI--we did this recently using FDRPASVM (Innovation Data's z/VM companion to FDRPAS for z/OS), and man, it was quick, easy, and no downtime. Of course, we were doing it alongside z/OS data on the same storage controllers, and we'd already owned FDR products for years, so it wasn't a big expense or change in procedure for us. Sure made it simple, though, if you've got a lot to move...
