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 pro
I don't know the method with AUTODDDA. Therefore I will tell you how I do it
if necessary (hopefully not too often).
The standalone method if you have no VM working:
1. Mount the tape containing the DDR IPL on a drive
2. on HMC IPL on the tape drive with LOADPARM where is the 4-digit
de
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,
just can't beat VM for making life at work easy.

I knew I was going to do that.
Messed up on the MDISK statement syntax.
When you're away from your tools ... the mind just fades. [sigh]
But y'all get the idea.

Oh ... I always forget something ...
Some may find it handy to leverage 1st level CMS disks.
(You can always change this later and let 2nd level have its own
CMS support disks.) For example, MAINT might have
MDISK 190 MNT190 0 END RR ALL
-or-
MDISK 190 DEVNO 190 RR ALL
Lately, I've been IPLing second level CP from a recomp CMS minidisk.
So much easier to set-up. Still needs a CP formatted volume to run,
but I find that I can DIRECTXA to that before booting second level.
So in this case, the IPL vol (of the 2nd level system) is not CP owned,
but yeah, the vol

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
line-mode/tty interface, not full-screen 3270).

Hello Larry,
The easiest, cheapest, most reliable is to buy a 3174. Here is
a price from a local dealer. Heck Buy two and keep one for backup.
Scrape them when you are done.

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 properly
