DFDSS and an IFL

2007-03-09 Thread Brian Ferguson
I've got a site that is trying to use their VM system (4.4 on an IFL) to stage MVS volumes for disaster recovery. They dump the MVS system off using DFDSS, and restore them onto the disaster system using standalone DFDSS under VM This way they don't need to actually run and licence MVS on the

Correct. An IFL will not run z/OS, or z/VSE code. On 3/9/07, Eric Schadow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brian I am pretty sure that IFL's can only run z/VM and Linux. -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems

But I don't understand how restoring under VM and then IPLing MVS in another LPAR or on another nearby CEC is any faster than restoring in the LPAR and then IPLing the restored system in an LPAR. They are serial activities. Restoring a 1 pack VM system, then doing multiple DFDSS restores
