Mel, Even if we can point you to the drivers, the only time you would know whether they were going to work or not was when you went to test, and it would always be a point of worry any time you put on TSM or OS patches if it was going to suddenly break your DR plan. In the middle of a DR

Jeff, Instead of migrating COPYPOOL01 (3590-E1A) to COPYPOOL02 (3592-J1A), you could just do a 'backup stgpool' from the primaries to COPYPOOL02. This will create a new and complete copy to COPYPOOL02, which is what you want. In the meantime, all your COPYPOOL1 data is still available, if

C. Adams, The 'delete volume' is the correct way. When all the volumes are deleted you can delete the storage pool. Why don't you delete a few volumes at a time, and see how long they take, and watch the recovery log, too, so it doesn't fill up. It seems like to me you ought to be able
