The term scratch is somewhat confusing as you do need a few things up front.
1. Do you have a DR plan ( can you leverage some initial steps there ..like offsite RES volume and use of a busing system) 2. Grab a Laptop, Caffeine and a USB drive. ( type up your action plan ) 3. Provided you have a CHPID map, open Notepad on PC and type up an initial simple IOCP to load as standalone via USB drive to the HMC ) 4. Hopefully you ordered a z/os System Pac ( in full dump volume format) ( this may come with a SA program ?????) 5. Ask someone in the z/OS community to build you a IPLable DSF Standalone Program or contact Newera Software for a quote on SAE. 6. Restore and IPL 7. Build a better IODF 7. Take backups and create your own version of standalone IPLable programs Kevin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mohamed Juma Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 2:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Installing z/os in new mainframe from scratch Dear list, What is the recommended way to install z/os from scratch to a new data center, includes new hardware z machine, DASD, tape system.
