Rob,
For restores, RSTLIB or RSTLIBBRM.
I'd also like to move some system libraries, SYS, QSYS, QSYS2, QUSRSYS and QGPL.
But I know I can't restore these.
MOVOBJ allows you to move most object types from 1 asp to another asp.
*LIB however is excluded.

Is there a command or tool to move a library from ASP1 (10k spinny) to
ASP2 (Virtual SSD)?

There is some debate on this. But I think what I am hearing is you want
at least six NWSSTG's per NWSD. Size of those depends on what total size
you want. Do NOT even try to add more than 16 NWSSTG to one NWSD. It
kind of like let's you but won't use it so basically the space is tied up
and then you get into IPL time and stuff. I think there is an RFE out
there to stop us from shooting ourselves.
If one of those NWSG's may become a load source (not likely in your case)
then read this for sizing:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/rzahc/rzahcstoragespace.htm
IBM i hosting IBM i would be a minimum of 40GB. While 70 for native disk.
(IBM i 7.3)
I think there's supposed to be some advantage to multiple NWSD's also.

I would like to Improve R&D LPAR poor disk performance (10K spiiny) by
using virtualized SSD from Production LPAR.
I've previously tested this with the below test config.
On the Production LPAR with the SSD
I created 5 NWSD, with 2 NWSTG of 100gb each attached to each, totaling
about 1tb of virtualized SSD.
Pencor05 Virtuals
CRTNWSD NWSD(P061) RSRCNAME(CTL04) TYPE(*GUEST *OPSYS) PTNNBR(1)
PWRCTL(*NO) TEXT('Pencor06 vSCSI 1')
Network server description P061 created.
CRTNWSSTG NWSSTG(P06CLNT1) NWSSIZE(100000) FROMNWSSTG(*NONE) FORMAT(*OPEN)
OFFSET(*FORMAT) ASP(1) TEXT('P06 Disk 1')
Network server storage space P06CLNT1 created.
CRTNWSSTG NWSSTG(P06CLNT2) NWSSIZE(100000) FROMNWSSTG(*NONE) FORMAT(*OPEN)
OFFSET(*FORMAT) ASP(1) TEXT('P06 Disk 2')
Network server storage space P06CLNT2 created.
On the R&D LPAR, I created user ASP 2, then added the 10 virtual disks of
100gb each, keeping the virtualized SSD in their own ASP.
By using RSTASP = 2 on the RSTLIBBRM, I am able to restore any user
library to ASP 2, giving the improved performance.
A few questions.
1) How many NWSD should I create?
2) How many NWSTG should I attach to each NWSD?
3) How large should I make each NWSD at a maximum?
4) How can I move commonly used i5 libraries from the 10k spiny to the SSD
victuals?
5) Any other recommendations?
This can all be done concurrently with no restricted state or IPL needed.
The only time an IPL would be needed is if you want to eliminate ASP 2,
you must IPL to DST to delete ASP 2.
Thank You
