I'm sorry but i wasn't clear enough , in this sentence you quote me I refer to a LOAD of Z/os without using of an already running OS . I was refer to "getting" a z/OS from blank (DASD empty) and without TAPEs this leave us the option to LOAD a SA software from the DVD (or even USB - I don't beleive this option can be done ) and then perform a copy of images from the DVD to our DASD . I was thought even on the option of copying a image directly to the DASD(HDS) but i still in the first part of investigate if this can be done .
