While I have not personally been able to verify this, I've had reports that you
can use the HMC's Load from Removable Media or Server task to load and run the
COD from an FTP server.
You will need to put the contents of all three COD disks into the same subdirectory on an
FTP server in the same subdirectory (and a few files, those that start with DFSMSDSS are
the same on all three images, so you just need one copy in this directory), then you
should be able to use the HMC's "Load from Removable Media or Server" task to
load and use the COD. You will select the appropriatte .ins file and load that via the
HMC's task.
So, you will wind up with a directory on the FTP server that looks something
like this:
DFSMSDSS.IMAGE
DFSMSDSS.INS
DFSMSDSS.PREFIX
DFSMSDSS_OPERCNSL.IMAGE
DFSMSDSS_OPERCNSL.INS
CAT* (all files that you find in the COD disk images that start with CAT)
SY1*
SY2*
Tom,
It is good news!
Several years ago (EC12?) I was trying to use FTP for COD and it failed.
Details: indeed, it IPL-ed from FTP instead of DVD, but later the only
source for RESTORE process was DVD.
At the time z/VM installation was smarter: you could IPL it from FTP and
later provide FTP as the source. However it was time when SE itself did
FTP GET, so specific network setup was necessary. Fortunately at z14
level you have fixed it.
(to be honest Brian told me about it on some conference)
