You run DDR in a virtual machine, hence it only has access to the devices defined to that virtual machine, and at virtual addresses.
So, LINK or ATTACH is required. You can also dynamically define a fullpack minidisk using DEFINE MDISK vaddr 0 END volser (this needs CP class A). I'll send you a document with some directory wisdom. 2008/2/6, Stracka, James (GTI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Define a full pack minidisk for each of the devices then do a LINK RR to > them. > > -----Original Message----- > *From:* The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On > Behalf Of *Hilliard, Chris > *Sent:* Wednesday, February 06, 2008 12:44 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* z/VM Installation from DVD > > 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.
