For each volume, create a full volume minidisk on MAINT pointing to the
volumes in question, eg:
MDISK 1200 3390 000 END VOLID RR
Replace 1200 with some free virtual device number, and VOLID with the
real volume ID of the volume that the minidisks are on. Then DDR will
be able to see the volumes.

I need a short lesson on backing up DASD volumes using DDR.
I’ve added four 3390 volumes to my z/VM configuration and have formatted
numerous mini disks on them. I would like to get a full backup of these
4 volumes using DDR. However, when I run DDR, and supply the input
address of these volumes, I get a message: *HCPDDR704E DEVICE xxxx NOT
OPERATIONAL*. I’ve tried running DDR under MAINT & OPERATNS and get the
same message. Is there something I have to do with these volumes in
order for DDR to see them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks…Chris (z/VM newbie)
