The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

I've thought of another use for virtual disks, curious if anyone has done this.
You need to swap out your current disks with larger ones, but no available disk slots for the new disks.
Restoring the system is not an option, too much down time.
Create some virtual disks on another LPAR, move the data using STRASPBAL.
You could then remove some of your disks, add new larger ones.
Move both remaining data and data from previous virtuals disks using STRASPBAL.
Remove remaining disks, add new larger ones.
Save load source for last, SST copy load source utility booting to DST.
I've done a similar process, but I had empty slots for the new disks.
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank You
