Thanks for the help for this sequence of steps and for the DFDSS backup
example.
I got the volume move and booted OK.

I copy DASD volumes all the time from our z/OS system. However I use FDR
Full Volume Copy. However, DF/DSS should do the same. If you run in native
lpar, it gets a little harder. He are my procedures that I always use:
___ Have good Linux backups
___ Logon to linux LPAR
___ Modify zipl.conf to reflect new DASD UCB addresses
___ issue zipl
___ Shutdown and deactivate linux LPAR
___ Submit full volume copies and verify results
___ Clip DASD volsers
___ Remount DASD on other systems if necessary
___ Activate linux LPAR
___ Verify results
___ cat /proc/dasd/devices
___ verify mounts
Because Linux caches so much, Linux must be down before running Full
volume copies or else you will get I/O errors trying to come back up.
I use these procedures on SLES 8. My SLES 9 are all z/VM Guest.
Good luck.
