Thanks Brian for the answers. Will it be ok restoring the volumes for the first time from ZOS? How does the restore job know on which device address to restore the ZVM volume? Same for the Linux Volumes?
I will check the ZVM and Z Linux lists as well as suggested by you.

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 **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
