I think you missed the line "disk storage is an issue." Otherwise great plan!

Looking for alternatives to moving *ALLUSR libraries between 2 systems,

Could you drag and drop them via ISERIES access?? Going from V5R4 to V6R1
machine, looking for alternative(s).

Do a Save 21 to a virtual tape on the V5R4 machine.

FTP the virtual tape to the V6R1 machine.

DUPTAP the virtual tape to V6R1's system's tape.

Proceed as usual. You now have a Save 21 from the old machine in the
new tape format.
