I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Doing maintenance on a solo VM system? Are you creating a second VM system? If so, are you trying to share the tape and backup catalogs between them?

The 2nd level system is a DDR copy of the first. 1st level production uses Backup & Restore Manager and Tape Manager. It sits inactive (not autologged, along with other service machines) 2nd level. Obviously, the 2nd level Backup/Restore/Tape is not in synch with first level. The initial plan was to backup _select_ 1st level minidisks and restore them when I cut the 2nd level system into production. By _select_, I mean only those minidisks that I saw current updates to. I'm now seeing that possibly might not be the best approach. Would it be better to backup and restore each and every minidisk for Backup/Restore/Tape? e.g. every minidisk for BKRBKUP, BKRCATLG, VMTAPCAT, TMTMM, TMRMM, et al? I did recently run across the procedure to enlarge/move the SFS tape catalog. Thanks in advance. Tom Duggan
