Yep, I know about all that. I'm talking about the
DASD volumes that Linux minidisks are on, not the VM ones. Linux will be
down at the time (we have 2 z9-109, well actually soon will be on 5), on
1 system at a time. We just need to shorten that backup downtime
in order to be able to do both (all) in the same window and the window needs to
get smaller because of the increased load and they have all the fancy HW and 11
LPARs to drive some really fast backups across to the other datacenter
(peer to peer tape) until the time we can get full XRC made available to
us.
So, that's it in a big nutshell.

list archives for all the reasons why this is a bad idea. Short version: if you
can afford to shut down the VM system completely, you can use methods outside VM
and/or Linux to do reliable dumps of VM volumes. If you dump an active system
(particularly one hosting Linux systems), you are likely to get garbage.
