Use this command to copy an entire DASD from one online DASD to
another.
Requirements and Restrictions
None.
Format
- origin
- is the 3- to 4-digit hexadecimal device address of the DASD that you want
to copy.
- destination
- is the 3- to 4-digit hexadecimal device address of the DASD to which you
want to copy.
- TOKEN-token
- is a 1- to 4-character user token that is passed to the UCPY user
exit.
Additional Information
- You can use this command, in any system state, to copy data from a DASD
that is experiencing hardware errors.
- The device types of the DASDs are verified to ensure that they are the
same and that the configurations are compatible before the specified DASD is
copied.
Notes:
- Copying a multiple-density device to a lesser-density device can produce
unpredictable results.
- Copying a prime or duplicate DASD to a DASD on the same channel or control
unit (CU) can degrade performance.
- Before entering the ZMCPY ALL command, the destination DASD must
have a volume serial number (VSN) of zz9999, wherezz are the
first two characters of the origin DASD.
- When the ZMCPY ALL command ends, the destination DASD has the
volume serial number that was previously on the origin DASD, and the
origin DASD now has a volume serial number of zz9999.
- Enter the ZMCPY ABORT command to stop the ZMCPY ALL function.
