I don't have the EAV disk but we do use z/OS DFDSS to backup and restore Linux
disk. The main thing is to have the control cards setup properly for both the
backup and restore. Here is an example of the backup and restore of a 3390
mod9 format.
DUMP -
INDD(DASD) -
OUTDD(TAPE1) -
ADMINISTRATOR -
CONCURRENT -
CPVOLUME -
OPTIMIZE(4) -

I'm not sure what it would look like for a EAV volume.
ADR024E (ttt)-mmmmm(yy), TRACKS/OUTTRACKS VALUE IS INVALID FOR DEVICE.
VALID CYLINDER RANGE IS 0 TO X'ccccccc'. VALID TRACK RANGE IS 0 TO
X'h'
Explanation: The following values are not valid for the specified device
types: (1) the range specified in the TRACKS keyword of a DUMP, COPY,
RESTORE, or PRINT, or (2) the range specified for the OUTTRACKS keyword
for COPY or RESTORE. The TRACKS values must fall within the cylinder and
track range indicated in the message. The cccc and hhhh are high cylinder
and head numbers, respectively, in decimal notation.
System Action: The task ends. Processing continues with the next control
statement. The return code is 8.

Subject: Linux EAV and DFSMSDSS
Anyone doing his Linux backups (and restore) with DFSMSDSS maybe?
A friend wanted to start using EAV and defined some 170G disks,
through DEVNO managed on z/VM. And while it seems the backup may have
worked, the restore certainly doesn't and complains with ADR024E and
some strange cylinder range. I'm told the big disks go in cylinder
managed space rather than track managed, but my source did not have
APAR or further detail.
The customer is reluctant to put his crown jewels on a disk with no
backup. Anyone got the recipe for backup & restore?
Thanks, Rob
