So, I'm working on a product that, at its heart, is a couple of DASD
images that get restored to the platters.
Right now, I require two additional 3390-3s for installation: one to
hold the VMARC image of the CMSDDR dump of the disk (because VMARC is
copyable around a network easily because it's F 80, while CMSDDR is
wildly V), and one to hold the unpacked image so that CMSDDR can
restore it.
This is idiotic, but I can't think of a better way to do it, unless:
So, is the on-disk format of the CKD images that the z/VM DVD
installer operates on documented? Because it'd be REAL HANDY to say,
"hey, put these files on an FTP server somewhere, access MAINT's 2CC
disk, run INSTPIPE, make sure you have DASD attached at 150 and 151,
and then run the following two pipe stages:
PIPE FTPGET -v BEF -DVDEOF -h host -u userid -p password -d dir
CKD150* | ECKDREST 150
PIPE FTPGET -v BEF -DVDEOF -h host -u userid -p password -d dir
CKD151* | ECKDREST 151"
