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!)
 
TIA
 
Brian
