I have a few RHEL servers that run on z/VM but boot off of a direct attached SAN LUN (not an EDEV or ECKD). They reside on an old DS8870 and I need to move them to a new DS8910. (No PPRC, GDPS, etc.) Is there a way that I could use VM to copy these LUNs to the new storage? I was looking at DDR, but wasn't sure if the FB-512 type would work for these. They aren't CMS format disks, obviously, so that isn't an option. I'm trying to avoid having to attach them to a Linux server to do the work, but will if that is the only option. Since these are boot volumes, I have to copy the boot partition and boot record, not just the filesystems. So, a physical copy would be the best.
I think your last resort (using a Linux server) is actually not a bad idea as direct attached FCP is usually faster than EDEV. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
