You have to attach the volume to the user performing the DSF. David Wakser

So try at least the CPVOL LIST. 2007/9/24, Anne D. Crabtree < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >: First, I assume you mean do this stuff to 530W01... Second, the backup ran with the FULL ALLEXCP ADMINISTRATOR. Do you think if I RESTORE it the same way, I will be able to use it? I'm really nervous about doing anything to the volume at this point!

Because, CPVOL is supposed to not only create CP's allocation bytemap, but also a VTOC telling z/OS (& co) that the disk is full. So, 1. Assure you have no minidisk on 510W01 starting in cylinder 0 (you can ignore the minidisk of user $ALLOC$) 2. Run ICKDSF, press enter twice (to indicate CONSOLE as in- and output 1. Link to a FULLPACK overlay on 510W01, or use DEFINE MDISK: cp define mdisk 1234 0 end 510W01 2. Verify that there is no CP area on the disk (it should not, otherwise CPVOL would have created a dummy VTOC, but you wouldn't like to loose a CP area). Run cpvol list unit(1234) verify(510W01) I expect it will tell: ICK33001I 510W01 CYLINDER ZERO NOT IN CP FORMAT. If it would -unexpectedly- list CP areas (SPOL, PAGE, DRCT, TEMP, ... stop here. 3. Format cylinder 0: cpvol format unit(1234) verify(510W01) range(0,0) ) volid(510W01) 4. END 3. DETACH 1234 2007/9/23, Anne D. Crabtree < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >: Converted to z/vm 5.3 recently. We normailly backup our VM pack on Z/OS via ADRDSSU. I inadvertently left my 530W01 volume out of the backup procedure. I added it into current job that backs up my old 510W01: //WORKVALT EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.OUT1) //DASD DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=510W01 //TAPE DD UNIT=MAGS,DISP=(,CATLG), // DSN= VALT.SY.TP510W01(+1), // DCB=(DUMMYDCB,RECFM=U,LRECL=0,BLKSIZE=0),LABEL=(1,SL,EXPDT=99000), // VOL=(,RETAIN,,10) //SYSIN DD * DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) OPTIMIZE(4) - TRACKS(0,0,10016,14) CPVOLUME ADMINISTRATOR /* //WRKVLT53 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.OUT1) //DASD DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=530W01 //TAPE DD UNIT=MAGS,DISP=(,CATLG), // DSN=VALT.SY.TP530W01(+1), // DCB=(DUMMYDCB,RECFM=U,LRECL=0,BLKSIZE=0),LABEL=(2,SL,EXPDT=99000), // VOL=(,RETAIN,,10,REF=*.WORKVALT.TAPE) //SYSIN DD * DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) OPTIMIZE(4) - TRACKS(0,0,10016,14) CPVOLUME ADMINISTRATOR I must have done something differently on 5.1 that I didn't do on 5.3. WRKVLT53 gets the following error: ADR307E (001)-OPNCL(11), UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME 530W01, 16 Code 16 says "16 The VM-formatted volume does not have an OS-compatible VTOC beginning on track zero, record five." So, now what do I do? We have DR exercise in two weeks and I must have a backup of this volume! We back up linux volumes using: DUMP IDD(DASD) ODD(TAPE) FULL ALLEXCP ADMINISTRATOR Would that work? -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
