ALWAYS post version and platform information!
IFF you are using IDS v10.00 or later you can archive the instance and
rename the chunks to point to the new disks during the restore process.
IFF you have use symbolic links for chunk paths then you can shutdown
the instance, copy the chunks from the original structures to the new
ones using DD or other OS level tools, recreate the chunk links to point
to the new locations instead of the original ones, then restart the
instance.
If you are using a version prior to IDS 10.00 and have used physical
paths instead of symbolic links for the chunk paths, then Neil's
suggestion of using mirrors is the easiest solution. REMEMBER TO USE
SYMBOLIC LINKS FOR THE NEW CHUNKS THIS TIME!
