I'm not sure with the varyoff, but I typically make it access=readonly, do a "move data" on the volume, which will move it to another volume in the storagepool, and then delete the volume if you are doing a reorg of your disks.

Hello All! If I vary a volume offline can I then move the data off of that volume to a volume in the same storage pool that is online? Thanks! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems Work:(717)302-6603 Fax:(717)302-5974 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
