Hi
I am working on migrating my z/VM 5.3 systems to z/VM 5.4.
At the same time we are preparing to upgrade to a z10.
To get a head start on the conversion to 5.4 and to the z10 I
am building the new 5.4 systems on the z10 we have connectivity to the DS8100
where our z/VM z/Linux environment is. We did build on 5.4 system on the z9.
The one thing we do not have connectivity to at this time is
Tape Drives. So we cannot use SPXTAPE to dump the z/VM 5.4 spool, we only care
about the NSS and other system stuff, to a tape.
To this end can you layout the steps I would take to copy
the spool DASD to DASD without the use of SPXTAPE. I am trying to get at least
one tape drive but if I can’t I would like to try another way. If all
else fails I can do the SPXTAPE dump of a 5.4 spool on the z9 and on the day of
the migration to the z10 load then.
Thanks for the help!
Thank You,
Terry Martin
