OK, if you're running the FDR/Upstream agent inside the guest, you probably are going to be OK. That satisfies the requirement of backing up the systems from within the guest, so the backup will likely be reasonably consistent. > Second, for this exercise there is no LVM involved these are just ECKD > devices.

Still, once you get back, it's probably smart to fix those two packs. -- db
