I was looking for information on setting up an Lpar to copy all of the Flashed disks to tape. We back up all of our DASD every week. We would like to be able to mount the flashed copies in a separate Lpar using the same volsers as the original, and then back them up. I have searched for documentation on setting up Lpars to do just that, and haven't found anything. We want a simple Lpar, if possible using a one pack system. We use Zara for tape management.
