William,

 

As most folks have said they are AWS images and so directly accessible by Hercules. If they are big 3390’s you might want to use DASDCOPY to compress them first.

Note that going the other way does not seem to work. I had to use DDR to back up and restore the VM/370 Six pack DASD, just copying them to single un-compressed files did not work.

And if they are 3390 so CKD then it is not a great idea to define them as FBA to Hercules.

 

Dave

Anybody have any clues/tips as to how to get started trying to access P/390 (or R/390) disk image files from Hercules?

 

cheers,
