If you want to play safe, do some cleanup in /siebel, then archive
mount the FS on /siebel and retrieve ( or restore... cant remember the terminology of tsm...), dont pay attention that the directory is still full!
OK you did stop siebel apps didnt you?
Then test, if successful, on now umount /siebel and do the delete since you kbow it works!

Hi Vbe,

It was succesfull ! Smilie

I just restored from tape to the /siebelfs ( datavg)
Then renamed the old directory under (rootvg) /siebel to /siebel_old
Then renamed the filesystem to /siebelfs to /siebel (datavg)

Application was tested with same path becoz the path remains same, Only Volume group is changed.

It was successfull.

Will there be any dependency with the old /siebel directory (rootvg) for removing.

Normally not... still in paranoid mode, you would start by leavaing it alone for a week, the next week do a chmod 100 /siebel_old and after a week of no complains, decide it is safe to remove...
