The 1st time a zFS file system is mounted on a new Sysplex, it has to go through Validation Processing to make sure the file system is useable. This takes about 1 minute per zFS file system.

We recovered all DASD via ADRDSSU and RESTORE jobs as usual. When we IPL'd our production system, OMVS took almost an hour to initialize. I saw a lot of IOEZ00397I messages. A lot of the zFS files had to do some sort of recovery prior to mounting. From what I've read, that is because a physical backup was used and the files were not "quiesced" prior to DUMPing with ADRDSSU. Should the zFS files be backed up separately from physical volume dumps for disaster recovery purposes? I was wondering how other companies take care of zFS recovery?? Anne D.
