Youi might want to pay attention to the first and second sentences of the
second paragraph:
"Secondly, this procedure is not supported, and not advised by IBM. You do
it on own risk! "
"Bart's" assertion that it is low risk is a bit optimistic. Might it work;
Well OK it might, the procedure is straight forward enough, but when you
look at what's really being done in that procedure, it's dangerous stuff.
My bigger fear is that it will look and act like it worked, for a couple of
hours, then cause problems. By then it's a serious problem to restore back
to the orginal point of recovery. IBM support will of course suggest that's
your only recourse. Call them when that's done and let them know how it
went. (correctly so in my view)

Subject: Shrink a loadsource
Hi,
Is there any way ( without full system reload ) to reduce the size of a
loadsource LUN? Currently having 143Gb LUN's and would like to go for 81Gb
LUN's to gain more "arms".
Best regards
Stefan Tageson
