I personally don't expect it (though I have no real experience).

AFAIK, you could DISMOUNT more than one disk at the same time with MINICOPY
so the Bitmaps must have the name of the dismounted disks associated and so
you can't [easily] change the name of the device then...

Have you tried a SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP/FULL on the DSA device already?
