Should PIPEDDR work with attached DASD or does it only support MDISKs? The documentation doesn't seem to say. I get an error with attached DASD but it works fine with a full pack MDISK of the same DASD volume when doing a dump/restore over TCPIP.
Using attached DASD will avoid label conflicts and also avoids maintainin g hardcoded MDISKs with DEVNO's in the directory. Unfortunately, the DEFIN E MDISK command doesn't have a DEVNO option. Here is what the failure looks like from the receiving and sending sides using attached DASD at both ends: --------- pipeddr restore * 6930 11000 (listen noprompt Connecting to TCP/IP.
