Hi, We are running z/VM Version 5 Release 2.0 service level 0702 (64-bit)
We have a standalone z/OS DFDSS 1.7 which we intend to IPL from a z/VM guest to restore a tape backup to a dasd. Upon IPL from tape (i.e. IPL 181 clear), we were able to load the standalone dfdss program successfully: 5694-A01 DFSMSDSS STAND-ALONE v1.07.0 .... ... ADRY005E DEFINE INPUT DEVICE, REPLY 'DDD,CCUU' OR 'CONSOLE' ENTER INPUT/COMMAND: . We reply to message above with "CONSOLE" ,but the program just hangs without any error message. z/vm shows the status as "running". Other programs such as standalone ICKDSF seems to have no problem. We know our SADFDSS is a working tape because when we ipled without z/vm, there is no problem replying "CONSOLE" to the ADRY0005E message. Can anyone guide me on what to check ? thanks. Caleb
