-----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hilliard, Chris Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 12:44 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: z/VM Installation from DVD I need a short lesson on backing up DASD volumes using DDR. I've added four 3390 volumes to my z/VM configuration and have formatted numerous mini disks on them. I would like to get a full backup of these 4 volumes using DDR. However, when I run DDR, and supply the input address of these volumes, I get a message: HCPDDR704E DEVICE xxxx NOT OPERATIONAL. I've tried running DDR under MAINT & OPERATNS and get the same message. Is there something I have to do with these volumes in order for DDR to see them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Chris (z/VM newbie) -------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) may be privileged, confidential or proprietary, and if you are not an intended recipient, please notify the sender, do not use or share it and delete it.
