This brings me to a question.
We have 16 volumes allocated for the Linux LPAR (we are running OS/390
R2.10) . I wonder how we would do volume backups on the MVS side for
these volumes. I am told that we need to shutdown the Linux LPAR, do the
backup and then bring it back up. I am not happy with that idea but for
volume backups we may have no choice.
I would like to share your experience.

Robert,
Is there any chance that the DASD device is *reserved* to another
system? Personally, I'd make sure that it was OFFLINE to all other
systems (z/OS, z/VM, ...).
The reason that I say this is that we had something similar (too long
ago to be sure) happen when one system was backing up the IPL volume for
another system. The IPL failed because the backup on the other system
had a DASD reserve on the pack.
