I think I might have an idea as to where your problem MAY be - I'm guessing at
this point so I'd like you to fill in some blanks....
Are your Linux guests device number consistent across Linuxen? As in,
/dev/dasdb1 is always device 601 and /{root file system} is 600, etc? Or is it
on Linux A it's 600,601,602 etc and Linux B it's 400,401,402 etc? What does
your zipl.conf look like?
Also can you post any messages you get when you try to boot them?

FDR says working as designed. They back up the entire volume and restore
the entire volume. I have restored 3 systems and they DO NOT BOOT.
