Re: DSKMOV (DSKBAL) command

[Pete Massiello <pmassiello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

    I think you mean DSKBAL.  it came out with V4R3, but you can get PTFs of 
this
back to V4R1.  There is also a new feature in V4R4 to do it in DST at addition 
of
the disk time.

    The DSKBAL does take a long time to run, but in my opinion it is extremely
useful to balance your disks after installing new disks, otherwise the new disks
get all the activity until OS/400 balances the % used on each disk until they 
are
all even.
