One thing you might do is compare the last backup before the move with the first backup on the new hardware. If you did a backup before starting transactions on the new hardware, it should be identical or the differences should be what was processed in that time period. On Wed, Jun 26, 2019, 00:0

I don't think we had the number of volumes Skip has, but we did several migrations using short-term leases of FDRPAS and they all went extremely well; the great thing about FDRPAS is that you don't need to do most of it during "down time". --

If you still have my libraries around, I had a utility to do this. I think it was called COMPDASD (or maybe SCECOMPD?). The JCL to run it would have had the same name. Email me if you want details. On 4/22/19 4:51 PM, Jesse 1 Robinson wrote: > Sorry for not taking the time to search the archives

Sorry for not taking the time to search the archives for this. We're shortly moving from one DS8 DASD subsystem to another via global mirroring (PPRC). We have the process worked out, but we're looking for the quickest possible way to verify that the copy of a volume is identical to the original
