As stated you'll need the WARM cylinders. Each page of warm points at up
1,022 spool files. I think it is a BAD IDEA to attempt to copy spool
from a running system. Maybe it'll work if the stars are aligned ...
serialization ... no updates to warm ... virtual machine not purging or
creating a file ...
for the NSSes why not use primitive yet effective DCSSBKUP/DCSSRSAV with
a wrapper of Q NSS ALL MAP? Recreating CMS and GCS no big deal.

Subject: Can't copy a spool pack?
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.
