The MIGRATE VOLUME command cannot be used for ML1 volumes.

For the first form, DFSMShsm performs space management for the volume in the same way as if the volume were being processed by automatic primary space management. That is, it performs all the functions described in Automatic primary space management for the volume, using the parameters specified in the ADDVOL command for the volume. Thus, the management technique and the inactive days specification from the ADDVOL command apply to this processing of the volume.

For the second form of the MIGRATE command, the processing described in Automatic primary space management is performed, but the management technique and the number of inactive days is taken from the MIGRATE command. Thus, you can apply different technique and inactive day specifications to the volume when you do command volume migration.
