I have a program that will backup to CMS files and restore all system files
(NSS, DCSS, IMG, OVERRIDE and NLS)
On a restore, if needed, the appropriate DEFSEG/DEFSYS is constructed
based upon
the file to be restored and issued. Restored files may be issued new names.
Documentation is sketchy but if there is interest that can be fixed.

Subject: [IBMVM] SPXTAPE alternatives
I have a z/VM 5.1 system used to host linux guests. I need to move all
the volumes from one ESS to a new ESS (F20 to 800 if it makes a
difference).
I note that the correct way to move the spool and nss/dcss is via
SPXTAPE -- can this be used to write to dasd as I have no tape drives
(or volumes) assigned to the VM LPAR ?
I'm assuming that I would use DDR to move the other mini disk
volumes (
I plan to create new CP_OWNED volumes and use the procedures to
move CF2
to an alternate residence volume to move the VM system
itself. The plan
then would be then to have different ONLINE_AT_IPL volumes between
CF1
(in use) and CF2 (new).
Am I off base here or is there an easier way of doing this. (I have
access to all the volumes from a z/OS LPAR if that is needed (and I am
more z/OS literate !)
