Well, yeah, but that won’t make the DASD bootable. You need to copy over the boot sector as well,
dd if=/dev/dasda1 of=/dev/dasdb1 bs=512 count=1 (substitute the correct devices in the above command of course. The first one is the 3390-3 and the second the 3390-9. I have not tested this on a zSeries machine, but it should work just fine.) -Paul From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jones, Zachary Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: zLinux instance on Mod3 and need to move to a Mod 9 On a second Linux machine, attach both drives to the Linux guest.

However, it will not resize the Linux "partition" or filesystem on that drive. You'd need to do a TRACK copy using DFDSS. The way that I would do it is to mount the -3 filesystem on a second Linux, mount the -9 filesystem as well, then "tar" to copy the data from the -3 to the -9. Of course, this is very slow, comparatively. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

I have a zLinux instance on a Mod 3 and I need to move it to a mod 9. I was successful in moving a mod 9 to another mod 9 using ADRDSSU from the zOS side. I don’t this move will work using this method and was wondering if DDR is my only option to achieve the move. We are not using SFS. Any help would be useful Thanks Frank Sikich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***National City made the following annotations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This communication is a confidential and proprietary business communication.
