We are moving from an XP512 to a VA71xx.  Hp wants us to do a tape
store/restore to move the data (19 hours to backup, restore?).

If we added 2 more fiber cards to hookup the new VA,  couldn't we use
VOLUTIL's  COPYSET or COPYVOL to move our data?

Our current config looks like:

MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET
 drive 1  (internal mirrored drive)

XP01_SET
 drives 101/119 (all on fiber card 1)
 drives 221/239 (all on fiber card 2)
