Example dump environment

This example consists of one 3390-3 volume of about 2.9 gigabytes and one 3390-9 volume of about 8.7 gigabytes and a 65 cylinder 3390 of about 45 megabytes. The volumes will be dumped at 10:00 am to 3480 tapes on two 3480 tape drives. The 3390-3 and 3390-9 will be dumped daily and the 65 cylinder will be dumped weekly. The dump cycle will be a seven day, weekly cycle. The fdasd utility will be used to partition each volume as follows.

Disk /dev/dasd/0199/disc: 
      65 cylinders,
      15 tracks per cylinder,
      12 blocks per track
    4096 bytes  per block 
volume label: VOL1, volume identifier: LNX100
maximum partition number: 3

             -----------tracks----------             
               Device      start      end   length   Id  System
 /dev/dasd/0199/part1          2      974      973    1  Linux native

Disk /dev/dasd/0198/disc: 
    3339 cylinders,
      15 tracks per cylinder,
      12 blocks per track
    4096 bytes  per block 
volume label: VOL1, volume identifier: LNX200
maximum partition number: 3

             -----------tracks----------             
               Device      start      end   length   Id  System
 /dev/dasd/0198/part1          2     3201     3200    1  Linux native
 /dev/dasd/0198/part2       3202    50084    46883    2  Linux native

Disk /dev/dasd/019a/disc: 
   10017 cylinders,
      15 tracks per cylinder,
      12 blocks per track
    4096 bytes  per block 
volume label: VOL1, volume identifier: LNX300
maximum partition number: 3

             -----------tracks----------             
               Device      start      end   length   Id  System
 /dev/dasd/019a/part1          2     3201     3200    1  Linux native
 /dev/dasd/019a/part2       3202     4267     1066    2  Linux native
 /dev/dasd/019a/part3       4268   150254   145987    3  Linux native

The partitions will be mounted as follows.

/dev/dasd/0198/part1 on /example type ext2 (rw)
/dev/dasd/0199/part1 on /example/boot type ext2 (rw)
/dev/dasd/0198/part2 on /example/usr type ext2 (rw)
/dev/dasd/019a/part1 on /example/var type ext2 (rw)
/dev/dasd/019a/part2 on /example/tmp type ext2 (rw)
/dev/dasd/019a/part3 on /example/home type ext2 (rw)
This example is designed to demonstrate how one might implement a simple DFSMShsm dump environment for a Linux guest on z/VM®. It is not intended to demonstrate how to best partition volumes for Linux.
