Moving disk units between nonmirrored disk pools

 

This checklist shows the sequence of tasks that you use to move one or more disk units from one basic disk pool to another basic disk pool.

Use these tasks when you do not have mirrored protection active for the disk pools. You must restart your system to DST mode to perform the tasks in this checklist.

When you perform the tasks in this checklist, the system moves large amounts of data. Make sure that you have completely saved your system in the event that you need to recover from an error situation.
