You can use TDMF to move z/VM volumes - but the z/VM system will need to be down while doing so. z/Linux disks under z/VM move just like any z/VM disk. Be careful in your z/VM config files as to what volumes are online/offline at IPL **BEFORE** you shutdown the z/VM system. I'd suggest setting up your CF2 config to IPL back to the old configuration and also to omit the ranges of the newly copied volumes.

The other problem is that we don't have that many targets as Source vols so every MDISK would have to be migrated to consume DASD Space and does TDMF supports the feature of copying MDISK's from Source to Targets or does it only supports Full Volumes migration. Or do we use copyddr tool to copy mdisks from source to targets from z/VM System. Any experiences or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Regards, Jasi Grewal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ Warning: All e-mail sent to this address will be received by the corporate e-mail system, and is subject to archival and review by someone other than the recipient.
