I believe you need OS/390 2.10 or above to be able to use ADRDSSU with
CDL DASD for a backup solution.
Here's a 'how-to'
http://www.storage.ibm.com/software/sms/dss/linux_dump_restore.html

Also, I was a bit unclear on what your move entails, but if you are just
'upgrading' DASD (e.g. - moving DASD from one physical box to another,
and merely cloning the UCBs),  your DASD vendor probably has a utility
that will move the data from the old box to the new one.

Good luck,
Paul

If you are using CDL (Compatable Disk Layout) volumes on Linux, then you
should be able to use either ADRDSSU or FDR, if you are current on
maintenance, to copy these volumes using OS/390. Make sure that the
associated Linux system is DOWN! CDL has a VTOC that OS/390 can recognize.
This VTOC has 1 to 3 "data sets" on it that represent the Linux partitions
on the volume. This "data set" entry indicates that the entire area is "in
use", so make sure to use ALLEXCP and ALLDATA(*) on the ADRDSSU control
card.

I've been asked to ask:

-------------
I have a Linux Lpar using 3 volumes and we are moving to a
new physical disk
unit. How do I copy the 3 volumes to the new devices??

Other LPAR's are OS/390. No VM.
