I just received my 5.1 order. Installation requires access to 18 track tape (3480) and a Standalone IPL of the tapes. Our Linux LPAR has no access to tapes.
Is there any way I can use these tapes from a z/OS system to load the VM dasd -- does DFDSS understand the DDR tape format ? It seems that there is a custom installer on the tape -- Can that be copied to dasd in any fashion. Shared dasd between the linux partition and the z/os images is not a problem. We always used the offlineldr stuff to install Linux previously and I missed this requirement. (Waiting for either the DVD to arrive or start doing dynamic gens to take hardware away from other users if this isn't possible). Thanks -- Jerry Whitteridge Safeway Inc.
