As already replied; DDR cannot restore to a disk of another device type. So if your input is on tape, you will need to find a system with that type of DASD. I don't know by heart, but may DITTO is able to restore DDR tapes to another type of disk.
If however you have a running system with different types of DASD connected, you can use DFSMS COPY to copy CMS formatted minidisks from one disk type to another (even from CKD to FBA). DFSMS comes free of charge with VM, but it is only installed when you explictely do it (DFSMS COPY is high speed, it used to be a lot faster than DDR). If this is your case, contact me again, I have some execs to help you during such a migration. 3174's came in two versions: a SNA one and a channel attached version. To use the channel attached version, no extra SW is required on VM, no TCP/IP, no VTAM either. The SNA model requires VTAM. If you got a modern CPU (like a z series) and a not too old z/VM, you can use the integrated 3270 console and install VM from the HMC (hardware console). No need to search for any other 3270-like device. P.S. 9345's were not FBA, but CKD -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support 2007/4/11, Stracka, James (GTI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I can answer the second. VTAM and TCP/IP are totally independent on VM. TCP/IP does not use CSA in GCS as it does on OS/390 systems. I am unfamiliar with a 9395. If it is also an FBA device, you can restore block ranges but the entire DASD depends on the amount of blocks. You may go smaller to larger but not larger to smaller. -----Original Message----- *From:* The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Sergio Lima *Sent:* Wednesday, April 11, 2007 1:12 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Two Questions About VM Hi List, I don't work with VM for a long time, but now, have a friend that ask some questions, and I don't remember very well, so, I need a help in this list. The first question are about DDR, Is possible do a DDR Backup from 9345 DASD, and restore this to a 9395 DASD ? Another question is if need install TCP/IP under VM, using a 3174 device, is necessary have also VTAM installed under VM. This TCP/IP will be used only for Telnet.
