I agree with you, I have used this method
before with no problems, however I had a problem on this task.

There is no need to format disks before you fill them
with DDR. DDR performs a formatting write.

Re: Moving a guest to new DASD

Jon,
I have been
successful in using DDR to copy the volumes. The one big step
that I originally over looked was to format the
new volumes before the DDR
restore. I have just finished copying two LINUX
guests to a new storage
array and it is now in production.

Subject: Moving a guest to new DASD
We have a
new DASD subsystem in, and I will need to move our
existing Linux guests over to it. Would I be
OK using DDR to copy the
guests (after shutting them down first, of
course), or is there a better way
to do it? I'm a z/OS guy; I am still new to
VM. (Well, actually, we have
had it a while now; I just rarely get to do much
with it.)
Thanks,
Jon
