Unless anything has changed, the EMC live copy will trash your Linux disks if the instances are up and running. Then you will end up falling back to your DDR restores anyway. Best bet would be to shut down your system(s) while the disks are migrating, unless business requirements dictate otherwise.

You could issue a CPVOL LIST UNIT(addr) NOVERIFY command. That would list your IPLable volume and display the Volume Serial and Allocation Map.

Our current addresses are 740-7B6. We are generated for 740-7BF 128 devices, Devices 7B7-7BF are offline. The new addresses are 700-7CA. I am going to gen for 256 devices. The EMC will copy file disk as we run, after the copy is done we will shut down, re-cable, Power_On_Reset with a new IOCDS (A1). We will see all the drives. We ipl z/VM from 792 at the moment, and will have to change to 752 on the new system. 740 old is equal to 700 on new. Now that is way is suppose to work. Suppose 752 does not IPL, what tools do we have to ensure that 752 is in fact 430RES? I have a Standalone system for VSE/ESA that would give me DITTO. I could verify the name of the volume. I have DDR tapes of the system. I could restore and ipl from a different volume. Any other ideas that are easier and confirm IPLable z/VM volumes? IDEAS WELCOME!
