Janne, A circunvention (not the solution) is broke the DDR in small parts: OUTPUT 181 TAPE (UNLOAD COMPACT DUMP 0 2499 OUTPUT 182 TAPE (UNLOAD COMPACT DUMP 2500 4999 OUTPUT 181 TAPE (UNLOAD COMPACT DUMP 5000 7499 OUTPUT 182 TAPE (UNLOAD COMPACT DUMP 7500 9999 OUTPUT 181 TAPE (UNLOAD COMPACT DUMP 10000 END
You need to mount the tapes in correct order, by other process. Another, if you have zOS in another LPAR and sharing the dasds, is to use ADRDSSU to make the backups (Function CPVOLUME COPY TRACKS). Using Standard Labels tapes, managed by RMM... Good luck, ______________________________________________ Clovis From: Järvinen, Janne <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 03/12/2010 07:15 Subject: Re: DDR multivolume tape as output Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> 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.

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.
