http://www.ibm.com/services/us/index.wss/so/its/a1005009

IBM Implementation Services for TotalStorage Command-Line Interface

IBM provides a service through Global Services to help you with using the Command-Line
Interface (CLI) in your system environment. It is designed to provide you with the ability to
create and apply configurations online. For more information visit the following Web site:

http://www.ibm.com/services/us/index.wss/so/its/a1005334

IBM Migration Services for eServer zSeries data

IBM provides a technical specialist at your site to help plan and assist in the implementation
of non disruptive DASD migration to a new or existing IBM TotalStorage disk system. The
migration is accomplished using the following software and hardware that allows DASD
volumes to be copied to the new storage devices without interruption to service.
