I am working in the modify system layout panels. I have a 3390-9 being used for
the dlib libraries and need to relocate some files to a second volume because
the mod-9 is full. According to the good old book you have to go to the SUMMARY
Of Logical Volumes, select the LV and then you can change the PVOL, the problem
is it changes every (411 of them) dsn's in the LV. I have NOT found a way to
change only specific dsn's. Please tell me there is a simple solution that I
missed.

I wish I'd been able to get rid of "logical volumes" but I couldn't
quite get there at the time. My Tip Of The Day: Avoid anything to do
with Logical Volumes.
There are two much friendlier functions in the CustomPac Dialog panels
in Modify System Layout you can use to move things around:
- The Recommended System Layout function will distribute data sets
over the necessary number of volumes automatically, leaving some free
space to allow for future PTF installation. (You can add both more data
set and more volume free space as well if you wish.) I just did this
for an old z/OS-only order using 3390-9s and it took less than 5 seconds.
- The View and Change option lets you display data set lists and use
the Change command to drive a mass change any alterable data set
attribute, including volume, space, name, etc. When you put in the
Change (CH) command you get a data set list, from which you can choose
to exlude the things you don't want to change. For this purpose, it
might be simpler to exclude the ones you DO want to change and then
rename the PVOLs later in the Physical Volume Summary. This seems
backwards but if you are only moving a few out of hundreds it's a lot
faster.
Don't forget that you can go through the other panels to save the
configuration at any time (which lets you model after it later,
effectively saving your place) and then play with things. If you don't
like how they turn out, start over from your saved configuration.
HTH...
