Re: VMUVM
A VM sysprog friend of mine uses this method: he copied his VM disks from track 0 to another disk starting at track 1 using DDR. Then he defines this as a minidisk to his guest VM system starting from

Re: VMUVM
Hi Bob, I was just trying to explain the concept. I was not recommending any configuration with duplicate volsers. It's too easy to confuse things. With Hercules, you can have separate test and

Re: VMUVM
I did this exercise a couple years ago, and I used John Yagers zzsa disk editor utility to change the volser on a copy of VmR6. You can get zzssa from the CBT tape site Mike

Re: VMUVM
When you define two disks with the same volser, in the manner Fish describes, you are defining two different disks in effect. Neither disk sees any changes made to the other disk. The case that gives

Re: VMUVM
Note that there are several kinds of disks in a VM system. "Dedicated" disks are ATTACHed to a virtual machine when it logs on, and are usually identified by their real (to CP) device address. Other

Re: VMUVM
CP doesn't duplicates, that part is true. But, CP doesn't place them offline. If you have duplicate volsers, CP will use the one with the lowest address. "use" that means: the one it will attach to

Re: VMUVM
I think you will need to update all the entries of the directory of the 2nd level VM as well since they are defined in terms of the old VOLSERs. Or am I wrong here? It would be simpler if you had a

Re: VMUVM
It looks like my first step would be to make copies of my first level DASD and then rename the VOLSERs. Any suggestions on the simplest way to do this, perhaps outside of Hercules?
