Jim, Yes, quiesce your Linux prior to doing your DFDSS backup of your CDL DASD.
As to SSH, I assume you are referencing the SG245944 Redbook, chapter 25? I know it's out there, I just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm trying to find some free time to do similar automated tasks via SSH. I'll be interested to hear from you if you beat me to implementing SSH on your z/OS system (don't have z/VM). Best regards, Paul ==================================================================== From: James Melin Subject: Re: Linux/390 and z/VM interactions. Just so I can wave a 'see, these people say it needs to be done this way' paper at my head sysprog.... I assume to use CDL and back up linux volumes with DFDSS 1) the volumes need to be 'avaiable' to the OS/390 image doing the backup, and that 2) Linux needs to be quiesced and halted in order to get a good backup of the devices? Lastly, has anoyne gotten Open SSH to work for OS/390? I'd like to use it to have automation be able to logon to Linux etc, and do stuff but I want encrypted shell. I've not been able to get the one S/390 port to work as we don't have the IBM C compiler. Has anyone ported GCC to the Unix side of OS/390 (Z/OS)? If so can the open SSH be made to work? Thanks. Have a happy monday.
