On some of the volumes, the following occurs: ADR307E (004)-OPENCL(11), Unable to open volume xxxxxxx, 16 This is indicating an invalid VTOC from what I can tell.. We are using ICKDSF CPVOL to initialize/label the disks on z/VM. Is there something special outside of ICKDSF that needs to be done so that DF/DSS can backup the volume? I know this is the z/VM mailing list - but hoping some of you may have similar requirements and some ideas. I heard a rumor of some dataset being written to 4 tracks of cylinder 0 .. but unconfirmed.
