John, As a FYI, if you are using DFSMSDSS V1R08.0 you will get a RC=04 & the following message will be issued when performing your restore: ADR355W (001)-SBRTN(01), CHANGE VOLID ON UNIT D0C1 FROM PAS001 TO SPR011
PAS001 is the volume I restored to. SPR011 was the source volume from which the dump was taken. However, when I tried the same restore in a DFSMSDSS V1R10.0 environment no warning message was issued. I am not sure why it changed the VOLID. I used the same jcl which you had posted. --- On Wed, 6/3/09, John Dawes <[email protected]> wrote: From: John Dawes <[email protected]> Subject: DFDSS QUESTION - PHYSICAL RESTORE To: [email protected] Received: Wednesday, June 3, 2009, 4:42 AM G'DAY, I would like to test the contents of a physical volume backup. If I perform a physical restore onto another spare volume would this cause any problems? I have done this in the past and I have not encountered any difficulties. Just to be sure I thought I would check with you all. The pack that was backed up was PLAN01. I would like to retore the contents on to spare volume VESPR1. //REST1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=4096K,TIME=1440 //DISK DD VOL=SER=VESPR1,UNIT=SYSALLDA,DISP=OLD //TAPE1 DD DSN=PROD.BKUP.JDE0P1.OFFSITE.PLAN01.G0002V00, // DISP=OLD //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * RESTORE INDD(TAPE1) OUTDD(DISK) PURGE //* Thanks.
