Go to the CBT Tape site at http://www.cbttape.org/~jjaeger/zzsa.html and read up on ZZSA. It can be placed on and IPL'ed from an CDROM. If you lose your volser to address map, you can IPL this from the CDROM and find the addresses of your DASD volumes.   Look at SAE for a commercial product which is also stand-alone IPLable and does much more. http://www.newera.com/     -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.  If you are not the intended recipient, you should delete this message and are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, or distribution of this transmission, or taking any action based on it, is strictly prohibited.   -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward M. Martin Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 4:02 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: New DASD questions cross post Hello Everyone,         We are getting ready to migrate to a new EMC DMX-1000 from a EMC Symmetrix 8350. Our current addresses are 740-7B6.  We are generated for 740-7BF  128 devices,  Devices 7B7-7BF are offline. The new addresses are 700-7CA.   I am going to gen for 256 devices.         The EMC will copy file disk as we run, after the copy is done we will shut down, re-cable,  Power_On_Reset with a new IOCDS (A1).  We will see all the drives.         We ipl z/VM from 792 at the moment, and will have to change to 752 on the new system.   740 old is equal to 700 on new.         Now that is way is suppose to work.  Suppose 752 does not IPL, what tools do we have to ensure that 752 is in fact 430RES?           I have a Standalone system for VSE/ESA that would give me DITTO.  I could verify the name of the volume. I have DDR tapes of the system.  I could restore and ipl from a different volume.         Any other ideas that are easier and confirm IPLable z/VM volumes?         IDEAS WELCOME!
