I have a z/VM 5.1 system used to host linux guests. I need to move all the volumes from one ESS to a new ESS (F20 to 800 if it makes a difference).
I note that the correct way to move the spool and nss/dcss is via SPXTAPE -- can this be used to write to dasd as I have no tape drives (or volumes) assigned to the VM LPAR ? I'm assuming that I would use DDR to move the other mini disk volumes ( I plan to create new CP_OWNED volumes and use the procedures to move CF2 to an alternate residence volume to move the VM system itself. The plan then would be then to have different ONLINE_AT_IPL volumes between CF1 (in use) and CF2 (new). Am I off base here or is there an easier way of doing this. (I have access to all the volumes from a z/OS LPAR if that is needed (and I am more z/OS literate !)
