We created the golden image server on EDEV FBA disk as well so our clone is from EDEV FBA to EDEV FBA. I presume if we are using the CMS FORMAT/RESERVE sequence we should do so for the source golden image build as well as the clone system before copying. When we tried using dd to clone, I watched the VM console for the server and there are many block errors during the copies. This was before we rebuilt using the FORMAT/RESERVE. I'm going to try that next. We'll rebuild the golden image after formatting the disk with that method and then try the clone again.
I'll update with results when we complete that work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
