While the host is running I copied the host VM5.2's single SPOOL pack to the single spool pack of my guest VM5.2 system, wanting to give the guest a copy of the host's NSS's and other System Data Files (SDF). When I IPL-ed the guest it reported no spool files; it had no NSS's.
I did the copy 3 times, IPL-ing after each copy, and got the same result each time: VM comes up and says no spool files; CP Q NSS reported NO NSS's each time. I used CP FLASHCOPY to do a fullpack copy the first 2 times and DDR to do the fullpack copy the third time. >From past experience I expect to be able to copy the system's single spool pack and get the SDF's and lose some STD open spool files (RDR, PRT, PUNCH) that don't matter to me. Can anyone explain why the copied spool pack doesn't have usable SDF's on it? I've verified my source and destination addresses and volids, etc. I eventually gave up and moved the spool files using SPXTAPE. -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.
