I'm not very z/VM literate. I am a z/OS sysprog who has done a fair number of installs, but not z/OS 1.12 so far. My best guess would be that you could use something like DITTO to copy individual files. But the result is going to be a mess so far as doing the installation is concerned. The reason is that the supplied jobs are tailored to the installation medium. I don't know the level of expertise your z/OS people have. When I installed z/OS 1.10, I used the Internet Download option and put the files on my Linux desktop. I could then NFS mount the Linux desktop filesystem to the driving z/OS 1.8 system. This allowed me to install z/OS 1.10 without needing a lot of UNIX filesystem space on z/OS DASD.
Why not just reorder with the proper media requirements? OK, the time may be a factor. That's why I went with the Internet download. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
