Yes, but
it does try to verify the label on both the input and output devices if you do
not specify a volser of SCRATCH.

There is no need to format disks
before you fill them with DDR. DDR performs a formatting write.

Jon,
I have been
successful in using DDR to copy the volumes. The one big step
that I originally over looked was to format the new volumes before the DDR
restore. I have just finished copying two LINUX guests to a new storage
array and it is now in production.

Subject: Moving a guest to new DASD
We have a new
DASD subsystem in, and I will need to move our
existing Linux guests over to it. Would I be OK using DDR to copy the
guests (after shutting them down first, of course), or is there a better
way
to do it? I'm a z/OS guy; I am still new to VM. (Well,
actually, we have
had it a while now; I just rarely get to do much with it.)
Thanks,
Jon
