Moving all data sets from one level 0 volume to other level 0 volumes

Device conversion of level 0 volumes is performed expeditiously by DFSMSdss. However, the following capabilities exist and are useful under some conditions.

You can use DFSMShsm to move single data sets or all data sets from one level 0 volume to other level 0 volumes. The processing for non-SMS-managed data sets differs from that for SMS-managed data sets.

To move BDAM data sets between volumes of different track sizes, you might consider migrating and then recalling that data set using the DAOPTION.

The commands for moving SMS-managed data sets are:

MIGRATE DATASETNAME(dsname) CONVERT

MIGRATE DATASETNAME(dsname) CONVERT(volser2)

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) CONVERT

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) CONVERT(volser2)

The commands for moving all non-SMS-managed data sets from one level 0 volume to one or more other level 0 volumes are:

MIGRATE DATASETNAME(dsname) CONVERT

MIGRATE DATASETNAME(dsname) -
   CONVERT(volser2 unittype2)

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) CONVERT

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) -
   CONVERT(volser2 unittype2)

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) CONVERT -
   UNIT(unittype1)

MIGRATE VOLUME(volser1 MIGRATE(0)) -
   CONVERT(volser2 unittype2) UNIT(unittype1)
