I used the second level system to activate and configure DirMaint and
RACF.
My cut over into production is basically renaming the 2nd level volsers
to production names and renaming the production volsers to an alternate
naming convention via a 'lifeboat' system IPL'd in the interim. I have
tested this successfully at our DR provider during an exercise.
I've backed up EREP/DISKACNT/PERFSVM and I'm comfortable with how I'm
restoring it to the new production system, but I'm second guessing
myself on how I'm approaching Backup/Restore and Tape Manager.
I wanted to backup the current production VM Backup & Restore
Manager/VM Tape Manager environment and restore it to the migrated
DirMaint/RACF environment once its been IPL'd 1st level/production. I
had planned on using simple TAPE DUMP and wrote a REXX EXEC to automate
the process, and backing up and restoring works _in theory_.
Now that I've been working with Backup/Restore-Tape manager a bit more,
I'm not so sure this is the right way to go. And, time is short.
So, I was looking for some insight on how off the mark using TAPE DUMP
to migrate the catalogs is.
There is no sharing of the tape and backup catalogs. There is no
communication defined between the 2 systems.
Thanks again!

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Doing maintenance on a
solo VM system? Are you creating a second VM system? If so, are you
trying to share the tape and backup catalogs between them?
