Assuming that you have made the changes to the z/VM system (if any are required) so that it also understands the new device addresses, everything will be fine once you get the backup job set up correctly for the VM volumes (see below).
Make sure that you take Physical volume backups of the packs (not logical) and restore them as FULL volume. For VM volumes you (should) specify CPVOLUME to let DSS know that it's playing with a VM volume : 3390 mod3: DUMP - INDD(DASD) - OUTDD(TAPE1) - ADMINISTRATOR - CONCURRENT - CPVOLUME - OPTIMIZE(4) - TRKS(0,0,3338,14) 3390 mod9 DUMP - INDD(DASD) - OUTDD(TAPE1) - ADMINISTRATOR - CONCURRENT - CPVOLUME - OPTIMIZE(4) - TRKS(0,0,10016,14) You can get a full description of how to do this type of copy on the VM list and the Linux list has a similar one for copying the Linux volumes (which doesn't use the CPVOLUME, it's just a full physical backup and restore) Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
