Hi Larry. It is possible that the 2.4 vm system ddr does not support it. It
does work on z/VM 3.1 and later DDR.
For testing in your VM userid you must use LOADPARM and not PARM. I kept my
tape volid so I had to IPL twice to get past the volid. The rest of the tape
should then hold the DDR
Although we have IPLed our VM/ESA 2.4 on our 9672 using the HMC, I also
need to know how to run a DDR restore.
With a DDR tape that I had built with DDR at the front, followed by a
full-pack dump after it, I could not get it to work under VM. With a
tape at 181 and the disk pack attached at 521,
One major caution: be sure the volume you're doing this on is in the
Offline_at_IPL in your production SYSTEM CONFIG; you don't want this
directory accidentally coming online if something happens to the
production volume that contains your normal CP directory.
Sorry to disagree: CP will never use

I therefore created a mini VM system with TCPIP started so that I
could
restore it using this method and have an VM system that I could IPL.
I did that a few years back. I'd can't remember off hand how that was
done.
Does anyone else remember?
This is a good thing to do. (in fact, I'll be

This is a request to you archaeologist. We have a 9672-A14, running
VM/ESA 2.4, that was originally supposed to die in 2001. It is still
alive, but not feeling too well. The big problem is our 3274 (you read
right) controllers. The 3174s are gone, but we need something when/if we
have to IPL.

Probably the cheapest solution is to buy a used 3174-11L and
decommission the 3274s. Used price is less than $1K USD (heck, I've got
one I'll give to you if you want to ship it there), and it's not worth
the effort to try to figure out another solution for that little $$$. If
the 3174s are

You can IPL VM2.4 to the SYSTEM_CONSOLE instead of
a 3270 console.
Your SYSTEM_CONSOLE is the HMC's System Messages window ( a sort of
