(CMS/CTR) (CTR) Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 10:22 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Detaching A disk from z/Linux guest dynamically Hi I have a copy of the DASD volume where the A (191) disk resides for a specific z/Linux guest. I want to point the guest to the new copied volume from the one it is currently using without bringing the guest down. Is there a way to do this?
