Yes, we had problems when we didn't do this, in other words when we tried to boot from a restored Linux image, it wouldn't! Its also best to make sure all the Linux volumes are always offline to all other OS/390 systems where they are defined, except when you close down Linux and the backup is actually running. Then after the backup is finished, vary the volumes offline again before you boot Linux. >Yes. I believe you have to have CDL format for DFDSS to work. Yes it is mandatory to have CDL format, which means you need the 2.4 kernel. Regards, Mark Darvodelsky, Royal SunAlliance Australia - Data Centre.
