Making a copy of your system software (cloning) z/OS Planning for Installation GA32-0890-02 |
|
This topic describes how to make a copy of the system software
in the z/OS® product set, also
known as a "clone"), on different DASD volumes with different
volume serials.
After you finish installing z/OS,
you need to make a copy of it ("clone" it). Some reasons:
To make a copy, you must do a number of tasks depending on how
your system has been configured. In addition, many of the tasks can
be done using different techniques, and differing local standards
and practices add more variations to the process. Some of the factors
that can affect the way that you copy your system are:
The information in this topic is based on the system layout that is described in Recommended data set placement. However, you might find this information useful even if your system is configured differently. The techniques that are shown here are designed to minimize the amount of work that is required to migrate software into existing environments that use the recommended system layout. They make a complete copy of the software that can be serviced using SMP/E. The following SYS1.SAMPLIB jobs are referred to in this topic:
If you are migrating your software to another system and you use the same volume, catalog, and data set names, you need only one of the procedures in this topic. Use the full-volume physical dumps and restores to make the copy, and then follow the steps in Migrating to another system. Note: Before cloning z/OS,
you must have a license for each z/OS operating
system that you run. For details, see Installing z/OS without using an installation package.
