snapmirror. ask for a trial license.
nothing beats it for filer to filer :)
you can initialize it with the db up and running, schedule your downtime, shut down oracle and unmount volume, do a final snapmirror update and break the mirror. mount the new volume and fire up oracle. works every time. i can usually migrate an instance in about 30 mins or less with most of that time spent waiting on dbas to shutdown the instances :)

We are adding a shelf of faster disks onto our existing FAS270C. We want to copy our Oracle database volume from the existing disk to the new shelf. We have considered usig either ndmpcopy or vol copy. Is there a performance Enhancement of one over the other, or is there a better method?
Thanks, David
