Not sure I quite follow what you're asking. If it's a permanent move (ie shut it down here, start it up there), then you use DDR to copy the disks holding the guest to tape (or disk if you have CMSDDR), create a matching userid on the other LPAR and use DDR to restore the tape copy to disk. You'll need to log into the console of the virtual machine, make any temporary changes to networking using ifconfig and route to get network access to the new copy, and then use your favorite system management tool to make the network changes permanent.
The copy step looks something like this (disk at 150, tape at 181): DDR SYSPRINT CONS INPUT 150 3390 OUTPUT 181 3490 COPY ALL <blank line> Do this for each minidisk/volume attached to the Linux guest. SHUT IT DOWN before copying it or you won't get a usable copy. Now if you're trying to do it dynamically, that's a larger problem involving CSE and a bunch of stuff. Too big for a note like this. Can you explain further what you're trying to do? -- db From: Michael Forte <mjfo...@us.ibm.com<mailto:mjfo...@us.ibm.com>> Reply-To: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU<mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU>> Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:48:06 -0600 To: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU<mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU>> Subject: Need advice on moving a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another Hi members of the outstanding z/VM community! I need advice or a pointer to documentation (if available? presentations, official publications, Redbooks...) on how to move a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another. Now, I know this couldprobably be pieced together from an assortment of z/VM product documentation or multiple Redbooks, but I am hoping someone in this community has done this before. Even a set of high-level "steps" would prove invaluable. Does anyone have any insight? z/VM 6.1, SLES 11, all FICON. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Michael J.
