The UTILITY UTILTAPE command creates a IPLable tape that will start a DDR session. From there a system can be restored using DDR RESTORE. For my purpose I only wanted to see if the system would IPL from the tape. If the system IPLs from tape but not from disk, then I know where to start looking (or directing IBM to look).
