...I know that I can do this easily from z/VSE, but what about z/OS?
Let me explain further. This past Saturday, we performed our first DR test with our current setup (1 z/OS system and 1 z/VM with multiple-z/VSE). Since we have not been able to get the backup performance from either z/VM or z/VSE that z/OS provides, we backup both systems (2 z9s) from z/OS. During recovery, the z/OS system DSF's all devices to LABEL them and then restores them from the library. Well, the setup is a z/VM "floor" system with z/OS and "our" z/VM under it. All of the DASD is MDISK DEVNO'ed in 1st level VM. After a DASD label has changed it's not reflected on the 1st level VM until a VARY OFF/ON is performed. Since z/OS is performing the labeling, it would be best for it to do the VARY OFF/ON. Other thoughts? Frank M.
