Re: DFDSS Dump VM formatted volumes
Alan, THANX! In our user direct we place a holder on every volume from 0 1 so no overlay happens. Learned that from this fabulous list and just ass/u/me/d it was standard. Had I read this message to begin with correctly I would've understood that the individual was looking for a how to with DFDSS, not a why overall didn't it work which is why I asked if the volume was formatted. We had a guy here get a new vol, which had ickdsf run against it from z/OS, did the cpfmtxa label only, then filled it with our new experimental sles 10 sp2 shared root set up. z/OS failed to back it up or even recognize it. That's when we tried the format from 0 1 and it worked for us in that z/OS using FDR could then back it up.

DFDSS Dump VM formatted volumes
Hi Just installed z/VM 5.4 and wanted to make a backup from a z/OS LPAR. DFDSS does not like the vm formatted volume tried: DUMP INDDNAME(INDD)- OUTDDNAME(OUTDD) - COMPRESS - OPT(4) also tried tracks, cpvolume, admin... No tape on the z/VM LPAR (no z/vm silo stk software) So how to ? Thanks.

I found this works for me: (backing up a mod9 on z/os) //INVOL1 DD VOL=SER=540RES,UNIT=3390,DISP=SHR //OUTDD1 DD DSN=MY.VM540RES.BACKUP, // LABEL=(1,SL), // DCB=(TRTCH=COMP), // VOL=(,,,1), // UNIT=JAGT, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) //SYSINDD* DUMP - INDDNAME(INVOL1) - OUTDDNAME( - OUTDD1 - ) - CANCELERROR - OPTIMIZE(1) - CPVOLUME - ADMIN - TRKS(0,0,10016,14) /* From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of frank.r...@daimler.com Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 10:04 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: DFDSS Dump VM formatted volumes Hi Just installed z/VM 5.4 and wanted to make a backup from a z/OS LPAR.

Re: DFDSS Dump VM formatted volumes
We use FDR here. Run CPFMTXA to put an index vtoc on the vol at 0 that z/OS can see. FDR then just dumps the entire volume. Once, we did not do CPFMTXA and z/OS could not handle the volume. Had to run CPFMTXA on the 0 - 1 cyls to put that index vtoc out there. At 01:04 PM 2/10/2009, frank.r...@daimler.com wrote: Hi Just installed z/VM 5.4 and wanted to make a backup from a z/OS LPAR.
