Converted to z/vm 5.3 recently. We normailly backup our VM pack on Z/OS via
ADRDSSU. I inadvertently left my 530W01 volume out of the backup procedure. I
added it into current job that backs up my old 510W01:
//WORKVALT EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.OUT1)
//DASD DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=510W01
//TAPE DD UNIT=MAGS,DISP=(,CATLG),
// DSN=VALT.SY.TP510W01(+1),
// DCB=(DUMMYDCB,RECFM=U,LRECL=0,BLKSIZE=0),LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=99000),
// VOL=(,RETAIN,,10)
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) OPTIMIZE(4) -
TRACKS(0,0,10016,14) CPVOLUME ADMINISTRATOR
/*
//WRKVLT53 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.OUT1)
//DASD DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=530W01
//TAPE DD UNIT=MAGS,DISP=(,CATLG),

//SYSIN DD *
DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) OPTIMIZE(4) -
TRACKS(0,0,10016,14) CPVOLUME ADMINISTRATOR
I must have done something differently on 5.1 that I didn't do on 5.3.
WRKVLT53 gets the following error:
ADR307E (001)-OPNCL(11), UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME 530W01, 16
Code 16 says "16 The VM-formatted volume does not have an OS-compatible VTOC
beginning
on track zero, record five."
So, now what do I do? We have DR exercise in two weeks and I must have a
backup of this volume! We back up linux volumes using:
DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) FULL ALLEXCP ADMINISTRATOR
Would that work?
