Although ICKDSF works well with the HMC DDR does not. I do remember using DDR with the HMC but I could only restore one volume at a time. Therefore the input and output addresses where all entered I believe on the loadparm. I therefore created a mini VM system with TCPIP started so that I could restore it using this method and have an VM system that I could IPL.
I did that a few years back. I'd can't remember off hand how that was done. Does anyone else remember?

The consensus is to try to find used controllers. The FLEXCUB solution is more elegant and versatile, but we have no xSeries machines lying around, and are looking for a cheap solution. By the way, I understand that even if we can get our system to load via the Hardware Management Console, that would not be enough to support the stand-alone utilities such as DDR, should we need to restore disks from tape in case of a bad disk. Is that so?
