Have you done RCLSTG yet. That may resolve your problem...

Thanks for the replies from all sources

With regard to any down time for the change, we don't have the normal
time pressure because this is not an everyday production system. While
it is used for some development it is only used for production for week
around the end of a month.

I would agree the save/restore would seem the way to go, but (and
there's always that BUT), I'm not sure I can get away with that. Here's
why.

I'd started to ask about this part back a few months ago but got
distracted.

An option 21 save yields a message that some object are damaged. I've
restored the few damaged application objects that we created but there
are two qsys objects that are damaged and lower level info messages
during the opt 21 save say that the operating system "might" have to be
reloaded to get the damaged objects back.

I don't know if the Opt 21 save we have has the undamaged versions of
the objects and reloading the operating system from scratch would be
iffy because I have a ton of CD and ptf CDs and there person who knew
this stuff is no longer around.

The damaged objects are.

PRINT DAMAGED OBJECTS
QSYS QKRBGSS *SRVPGM 1
QSYS QDPDD1P *FILE 1

The system does not seem to be bothered by these damage items.

I've tried to restore these from the tape but the restore says it can't
find them but that is probably because I'm not pointing the RESTORE
object command at the correct tape file. QSYS does not appear to reside
in a tape volume which is labeled like a normal user library.

Any thoughts on finding where the objects might be on the tape.

I believe this very subject come up earlier in the year and it was
generally agreed that save/reload was the best way to do this...

or go here for the other method out of the manuals.

I bought 4 model 6818 17.54GB drives and a 2748 Raid controller. (I
installed the raid controller and noticed a big difference in the
speed of a disk intensive job I run every so often.)

I had a step by step list of how to install the DASD but I've lost it

and can't remember where I got it. The list came from a discussion
somewhere a few years back but I've googled and can't seem to find
the right combination of words.

I believe the write up said something about reducing the data on my
disk first if mirroring was going to be turned on.

I should be able to get the total down to under 50% on the existing
drives.
I've lots I can take off temporarily. QEJB lib contains about 400MB
of Save Files alone.

Where can I find the steps I need to follow?

The system is a model 170 V4R5 and I've included the following from
work with Disk Status.

Size %
Unit Type (M) Used
1 6607 4194 82.2
2 6607 4194 83.0
3 6607 4194 83.1
4 6607 4194 83.1
