Sandy, Probably not. He's most likely using CDL-formatted DASD which can be varied online to OS/390-z/OS systems.

Hi Kevin, The ability to do this very thing is a critical success factor for our Linux/390 trial. I have succesfully dumped a Linux image (4 X 3390-3 on HDS 9960) to tape and restored it again, followed by a succesful boot and test, using OS/390 2.10 DFDSS. I did, however, shut it down before running the OS/390 dump job. If you want any further details, such as JCL I used, I would be glad to provide it.
