Method 2

1. Enter the MDSKLIST command to obtain a file that contains the list of minidisks on the specified volume.
2. Update the online directory to reflect the new DASD volume to which the minidisks will be moved. Assign temporary minidisks to this new volume that correspond to the physical location of the minidisks on the pack being restored.

   For example, these are the current directory entries:

   USER JOE ******** 3M 4M G 64 
   MDISK 191 3380 10 101 VMPK33 MR ******** 
   
   USER FRED ******** 3M 16M BEG 64 
   MDISK 191 3380 201 50 VMPK33 MR ******** 
   MDISK 192 3380 251 70 VMPK33 MR ********
   

   To move all user minidisks from volume VMPK33 to VMPK99, change these directory entries to the following:

   USER VMBTEMP ******** 3M 4M G 64 
   MDISK 100 3380 10 101 VMPK99 MR ******** 
   MDISK 101 3380 201 50 VMPK99 MR ******** 
   MDISK 102 3380 251 70 VMPK99 MR ********
   

3. Modify the MDSKLIST file adding the temporary target minidisks:

   JOE 191 VMBTEMP 100 
   FRED 191 VMBTEMP 102 
   FRED 192 VMBTEMP 103
   

4. Submit the restore job template file by entering the SUBMIT command with the MDSKLIST option.
5. After the restore is completed, remove the temporary directory entries.
