We migrated from a Multiprise 2000 running z/VM 3.1 to a z/9 BC by first migrating from the internal DASD to a temporary external DASD unit provided by our storage vendor that both machines could access. We then cutover to z/VM 5.3 running on the z/9 (no big deal), then migrated from the temporary DASD to our permanent home.

I'm going to throw out some more details since some folks are interested in know more about what exactly we're attempting to do. We are attempting to move a customer from a Multiprise 2000 running VM 3.1 and their custom CMS-based application to a z10 running z/VM 5.4. The customer has 40+ 3380 volumes. Our hope was to take their DDR full backup and restore it to a Second-Level instance of z/VM. I have talked with the storage group and asked them if they can provide me with 'emulated' 3380 drives. I'm still waiting to hear back from them on that. Thanks everyone, I appreciate your responses.

What is the actual hardware you want to restore to? Maybe it will allow you to emulate 3380 DASD. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years mailto:[email protected] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- On Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:16:18 -0800 KEETON Dave * SDC said: >Hello Listers, > > I've been given some DDR tapes of 3380 volumes and I'm looking >for a way to restore them to 3390.
