Thanks for Dick about this, but it did not solve my original problem: two 3490
(compacted) are not enough to dump 3390-9
and looks like You can not mount the third (and fourth volume needed).
Looks like DDR is supposed to act like this ("Two tape limit" does not feel
very sophisticated).
Maybe I should use some other sw/pgm to take z/VM backups (?)
Any suggestions what other (maybe better) method to use ?
One option ofcourse, is to make DDR DUMP DASD to DASD.

Subject: Re: DDR multivolume tape as output
It is very simple. Look to this ddr command file:
INPUT 1111 DASD VMLEF3
OUTPUT 0181 TAPE 182 (COMPACT
SYSPRINT CONS
DUMP ALL
Now you only have to attach a scratch on 181 and 182. So mount a scratch on a
real device uuuu and attach it to your machine with vdev 181, also, mount a
scratch on rdev xxxx and attach the rdev to your machine as 182.
If the tape on 181 is full, output will be continued to 182.
Also with dfsmsrm:
dfsmsrm mount vol vvvvvv (rdev uuuu vdev 181 attach * dfsmsrm mount vol wwwwww
(rdev xxxx vdev 182 attach *
The volumes must be in the scratch pool you are using in your VM environment!
After the mount simply give the command:
DDR DDRCOM FILE A (DDRCOM FILE is the name of the command file on the a-
disk this mostly your 191 minidisk).
Think green - keep it on the screen.
