Oh. I almost forgot. You can also boot VM from tape and create a

Peace... Sridhar
DASD isn't a requisite of using a mainframe.
Just use minidisks.
DASD is mostly used for data storage. Although there are a lot of
setups out there that IPL from DASD, I would venture to say that most
setups IPL from minidisk. Not that most setups IPL that often.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you have minidisks without some DASD to
put them on?
