Uwe,

I know you are a real storage expert, but

THAT does NOT sound "clever" on my frequency!

Surely any decent modern device can combine with VMS to do migrations of all kinds without downtime?
It need not be trivial, and the shutdown road might be easier, but I find it REAL hard to accept as the only way ...

Disclaimer: I do not (yet?) have any experience with MSAs.

Proost.

Have one on me.

Unfortunately I let this thread slip and never got around to saying how they fixed it. Memory dimly suggests that it might have been by merely moving the drive (perhaps with power down?), as several responders suggested.
