Hi folks Going round in circles on this.. I need to do a stand-alone restore on a remote machine that currently has no bootable o/s and only has a 3490 tape drive. I can create the disk dump on my local machine on virtual tape and send it electronically to another remote machine at the same remote site that has a virtual tape silo connected to my local one (they're a DR pair); so I was hoping to be able to copy the virtual tape image to 3480 tapes using that machine's 3490 drives.. However I can't seem to be able to get this to work. I only have 'standard' IBM utilities, and DITTO at my disposal. I used ICEGENER thus: //ICEGENR EXEC PGM=ICEGENER,REGION=4M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR, // DSN=MYDISK.DUMP, // UNIT=CART,VOL=SER=B01307,LABEL=(1,SL) //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,KEEP,DELETE), // DSN=MYDISK.DUMP, // UNIT=/0391,VOL=(,,,99),DCB=*.SYSUT1 //SYSIN DD DUMMY
This *seemed* to work but the SAR process said it was an invalid dump dataset and rejected it. Anyone have any ideas how I can do this (other than driving the 200 miles and taking the tapes there myself!)
