I have NOT found a way to change only specific dsn's. Please tell me there is a simple solution that I missed. I wish I'd been able to get rid of "logical volumes" but I couldn't quite get there at the time. My Tip Of The Day: Avoid anything to do with Logical Volumes. There are two much friendlier functions in the CustomPac Dialog panels in Modify System Layout you can use to move things around: - The Recommended System Layout function will distribute data sets over the necessary number of volumes automatically, leaving some free space to allow for future PTF installation. (You can add both more data set and more volume free space as well if you wish.) I just did this for an old z/OS-only order using 3390-9s and it took less than 5 seconds. - The View and Change option lets you display data set lists and use the Change command to drive a mass change any alterable data set attribute, including volume, space, name, etc. When you put in the Change (CH) command you get a data set list, from which you can choose to exlude the things you don't want to change. For this purpose, it might be simpler to exclude the ones you DO want to change and then rename the PVOLs later in the Physical Volume Summary. This seems backwards but if you are only moving a few out of hundreds it's a lot faster. Don't forget that you can go through the other panels to save the configuration at any time (which lets you model after it later, effectively saving your place) and then play with things. If you don't like how they turn out, start over from your saved configuration.

For DLIBs, I change them all to SMS and let them land where they may in the pool.
