Re: Coping the RES volume
Title: Coping the RES volume Hello Larry, The way I work there is never a dumb question. I used CPFMTXA and did the copy all worked great. Then to change the name I did the CPFMTXA 780 890RES LABEL Took about 15 minutes for 4 drives. The COPY ALL did the trick. Thanks for following up. It does help.

{SPAM?} Re: Coping the RES volume
Ed--The most sure way to copy SYSRES or any volume on VM is to use DDR. If you are concerned about getting a super clean copy, shut down the system the input volume is on and either copy from another system, or use the stand alone DDR program. Even without that, however, all you will do is have some incomplete console files or whatever else may have been running. You would have to do a FORCE START at IPL if you are copying a running system. No need to CPFORMAT anything ahead of time. Here's what the commands look like: DDR IN input_address 3390 OUT output_address 3390 COPY ALL This is assuming that you haven't been getting fancy and putting things like the directory and other CP owned areas on other volumes. Unless you are sure of what you are doing DO NOT ipl the copied volume while the copy_from volume is running.

Re: Coping the RES volume
Hello Mike and Jim, Thanks for the response. I am making a second level machine. Pretty much the same as the others I have made. IPLs clean and I am doing well. It just seems to me that COPY CPVOL should get all the required CP stuff. I keep forgetting that COPY CPVOL just does not get all of the Directory area. Thanks for all bits and pieces.

If you are trying to write to some alternate area, those cylinders would need to have been formatted by CPFMTXA (or ICKDSF, which is called by CPFMTXA) ahead of time, or DDR copied from a location that was already formatted. Additionally, the HELP for HCPDIR787E, indicates another possible problem: The device type specified on the DIRECTORY statement did not match the device type of the directory volume. Are the new and old volumes the same device type and model? Formatting/Allocating the specific cylinder required for the alternate directory on the output volume should be fast and pretty easy.
