Yes you will. Make sure you detach the 2 disks from the 2nd level
system as soon as the DDR is done. Or just do the DDR to tape (unless
you have lots of spare DASD). If these disks would duplicate any first
level labels, it would be a good idea to re-label them.
Do I understand correctly that you want to DDR backup your 1st-level CP
owned DASD on a second-level VM? If so, how did you "attach" them to the
2ndlevel sys? Also, keep in mind that if these CP-vols contain SPOOL,
Warm, or CKPT areas, you probably won't get a decent DDR copy unless you
run a Standalone DDR. This is because SPOOL pointers are likely to be
changing on the running system WHILE you are making you image copy. If
you prefer not to run Standalone DDR, you should make sure you have a
good SPXTAPE dump of your SPOOL and SDF files.
