Then you might want to take a look at the PIPEDDR package on IBM
Downloads page. It has the capability of reading a DASD (Full or
Minidisk) transmitting it over tcpip to a partner system running PIPEDDR
to receive it and write it down to its DASD. After that, some midnight
execs can move things into place (CPLOAD, DCSSBKUP files, minidisks,
etc). Then just have the operators shutdown and IPL. Packing all of your
staging areas onto a single physical volume can make it simpler to
transfer rather than sending a a dozen or two.

first of all, many thanks for the response.
i think maintaining a sysres like richard does, is quite a good idea. just
to tell you why i asked this question: i need a procedure to maintain up 20
z/VMs images. moreover there is no shared dasd environment. so i have to
deliver the new maintenance via file transfer and perform the necessary
changes to make it ready for ipl automatically, because manual change for 20
images are no fun ...
