John, Mate, when you restore a volume with COPYVOLID, and there is a volume online with the same volser, the restored volume will be taken offline as described elsewhere in this thread.
Just like when you try to vary a duplicate volser online, the original volume is unaffected by the restore, vary or mount request. The sample JCL below has been run over 100,000 times in the last few weeks, so I'm pretty sure it will work for you straight out of the box. //RSTU2820 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=6M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //INPE281F DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=PE281F, // DSN=PERF.PE2820.DUMPVOL //OTPE2820 DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=PE2820 //SYSIN DD * RESTORE FULL INDDNAME(INPE281F) OUTDDNAME(OTPE2820) Stop using all the keywords to bypass the ACS routines, as this is part of the reason for your errors. ACS does not apply to physical restore, therefore the syntax spits back at you. There is no dataset allocation in a physical restore. The first line of your original post is all you needed.
