Jim,

Do you want to also move the accounting structure to the PV? For example
you originally had the user LEE in the account SHIPPING with groups
INBOUND and OUTBOUND, do you want to also move these to the PV, or are
you creating new user/acct/groups?

If the former then I'd use Deny's suggestion of storing to tape, create
(really duplicate the old) on the PV, the restore using the VOLCLASS
parameter.

If a new accounting structure the just create the accounting structure
on the PV and use DSCOPY (with wildcards) to copy the files across (uh,
won't work with IMAGE files, in that case STORE/RESTORE is the route to
go).

I suspect that thoughtful separation of datasets/files based on access
patterns probably still yields significant performance benefits, even
with the mapped file buffering done by IMAGE/MPE. The large memories
available and mapping files into the virtual space have greatly enhanced
performance, but seek and rotational latency and the corresponding
mechanical delays are still with us. Any thoughts or experiences from
others?
