Good Day All, I am not a newbie to Db2 but I won't date myself... Over the years I've done a number of redirected restores, pained but successful. To the group I would like to ask a question. I have an older VM Test which is a copy of my clients full prod database, along with an older SAN recently migrated to a new flavor.

What I would like to do is take my VM Test and connect it to the Older SAN to utilize the space left behind. Since this SAN is still populated with the Db2 structure and data space (now non-production), is it possible to adjust the VM Test Db2 engine to see and utilize the SAN left behind. I know there are many parms which may need to be changed, but I have my doubts that this can be done at all.

Has anyone here done this or tried this unsuccessfully? If it is possible, I would spend my time giving it a try. If not, my time is probably better spend building my redirected restore deck, or other method if this group recommends something better.

Thanks in advance for your assist.
