MPE V/E and MPE XL Tape Compatibility
MPE V/E SYSDUMP tapes are migrated to MPE XL through DIRMIG. After
migration, files are restored to disk through a RESTORE menu.
MPE V/E STORE tapes are fully compatible with MPE XL. You can migrate MPE
V/E user files to an MPE XL host system and then include the files as
part of the complete system backup. For more information on migrating
files, refer to the Migration Process Guide (30367-90007). To transfer
STORE files from MPE XL to MPE V/E, use the TRANSPORT option of the MPE
XL :STORE command. Note, however, that MPE XL files that are not
compatible with MPE V/E due to file/record size limitations in MPE V/E
will not be stored using the TRANSPORT option
SPOOK tapes from either operating system are compatible.
