1. rebuilt the golden image, preparing the disk with CMS FORMAT & RESERVE on EDEV FBA mini-disks 2. prepared the clone system disk with CMS FORMAT & RESERVE on EDEV FBA mini-disks 3. Altered the clonerw.sh script so that it recognized the disk as FBA instead of CKD to get the device names and deleted the format section of the script. 4. ran the clonerw.sh script and through the ssh session, it gave no error messages, however on the VM guest console we received many iterations of the following messages for each device during the dd copy command executions: Buffer I/O error on device dasdc, logical block 4547 lost page write due to I/O error on dasdc end_request: I/O error, dev dasdc, sector 36400 Mar 3 08:28:14 S11CLONE kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev dasdc, sector 77016 5. tried booting the clone but expected failure due to I/O errors and as expected the boot failed 6. Under CMS, used DDR to copy each of the EDEV FBA disks from the golden image to the clone 7. Clone server booted without issue. Working on some parts of boot.findself script to set the ifcfg-eth0 ip address that don't appear to be working, but the server came up without an error.
So, we have a method to make the clone, but the clonerw.sh script doesn't seem to work with this disk without further modifications that we can't figure out at this point.
