I don't know of any way to do what you are trying to do with the HMC. There is no direct access to the operating system on the HMC, including command prompts etc. So, to do something outside of the HMC app seems unlikely, and definitely unsupported.
If your disaster recovery site provides you with a starter system with attached workstations, then maybe just burning a CD or bringing a USB key along to access from a regular workstation might be the answer. Whatever you decide, has to be worked into your normal D/R process, so that updated jobs/procedures get off-site daily and/or weekly - including the updated CDROM or USB key. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Hal Merritt Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 10:28 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: USB on HMC running OS/2 Warp I'd go another route. For example, the supplied 'floor' system should have sample jobs that can be easily modified to load your initial volume(s). There are several other ways I have used to do this. Besides, you may not be able to predict what HMC version you might see. You are also assuming physical access to the HMC. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lorne Dudley Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 9:16 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: USB on HMC running OS/2 Warp Hello Hal !
