And I did some serious browsing of the restore instructions.

Thanks!

I just don't think you can restore either LIC or OS from virtual tape.
Your best bet is the DUPTAP.

Yep, i was quite sure you couldn't IPL from virtual tape, especially
if i intend to reinitialize the system to get a clean ASP (where would
the tape data go?).

I'm just not sure if the DUPTAP will work for IPLing. I did DUPTAPs
from physical to virtual multiple times, that always worked fine for
restores, both the other way around i've never used it.

Well, i'll see and post about my experiences with this.

Thanks both to you and Pete!
