The plot thickens... I checked /mnt/linux5/var/log/messages, and saw a number of these entries:
Mar 22 13:54:10 (none) mingetty[777]: /dev/ttyS0: No such file or directory Upon checking /mnt/linux5/dev, I found that its well below its complement of devices. I checked /mnt/linux5/proc, and it too seems to be lacking directory structures and files. Maybe it's a backup issue, maybe it's a restore issue, but it's certainly an Upstream issue. I will find out what's going on, and keep you all posted. Thanks, -Matt Marist EDU wrote:

I've also setup Hipersockets between it and z/OS for Upstream purposes, and backups/restores of files and directories have been tested without issues. - linux5, my guinea-pig image. With LINUX5 shutdown and logged off VM, I've run the following commands on linux7 (big thanks to Mike MacIsaac et. al. and their clone script from LPAR2VS): hcp LINK LINUX5 100 1100 MR echo 1 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.1100/online mkdir /mnt/linux5 mount /dev/dasdd1 /mnt/linux5 # Note: I'd checked the device name beforehand Now I've got linux5's / disk mounted on linux7. I then run a backup job from z/OS that calls Upstream on linux7 to backup /mnt/linux5/*. Now that I have a (supposed) full backup of linux5, I'm going to delete everything from /mnt/linux5 to test a full-system restore: cd /mnt/linux5 rm -rf * I then run a restore job from z/OS that restores linux7:/mnt/linux5 using Upstream. Finally, I clean up my links to make sure LINUX5 has its disk all to itself: umount /mnt/linux5 echo 0 > /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.1100/online hcp DETACH 1100 Now I should be able to logon to LINUX5 and IPL a restored copy of everything from its 100 disk. However, when I do so, I get about 1/3 of the way through the boot process, and it's hanging on: qdio: loading QDIO base support version 2 ($Revision: 1.79.2.8 $/$Revision: 1.57 $/$Revision: 1.23.2.2 $) qeth: loading qeth S/390 OSA-Express driver ($Revision: 1.77.2.54 $/$Revision: 1 .98.2.27 $/$Revision: 1.27.2.9 $/$Revision: 1.8.2.2 $/$Revision: 1.7.2.3 $/$Revi sion: 1.5.2.6 $/$Revision: 1.19.2.16 $ :IPv6 :VLAN) There's nothing in the scroll of the IPL before this point that inidicates any problems, though if necessary I could copy/paste the whole thing. Any insights into this would be helpful.
