Hi, I've been following this thread for the last few days. Keep a few things in mind. 1). You can now add disks while the system is active. This was an availability enhancement that was added at about V3R1. (Don't quote me on the release.) This happened because with the serial initialization scheme used previously, we were shipping high end systems where it took (theoretically) 24+ hours to add the disk from DST. 2). If you are willing to be down when you add disk, you can elect an option to scatter the data from your existing disks. This will take longer. (This feature was added in V4R4.) 3). The Start Asp Balance (STRASPBAL) command was added in V4R4. It does a great job balancing data, although it can be PAINFUL(*NOMAX), which is why the ENDASPBAL command was also created.
