Do you have two controllers?  Because of the "churn" of moving from 31-bit 
to 64-bit, some folks are in the same situation you are.  That is, you 
need both 31 and 64-bit servers depending on the workload that will be 
run.  The redbook was written so you can have the controller (LINUX00) 
clone *either* a 31-bit or 64-bit SLES9, but not both. To be able to clone 
either, I would recommend creating a second controller.  You obviously 
have to name it something other than LINUX00.  Actually, naming the two 
something more descriptive like SLES9 and SLES9X might help.

Yes, that could be a problem (this is actually one reason why the 
mksles9root script was coded to exit when it detects the same sles9root/ 
directory). I would recommend adding a layer such as /nfs/sles9 and 
/nfs/sles9x. Put all the .iso images in the appropriate directory and run 
?mksles9root s390? from the first and ?mksles9root s390x? from the second. 
 Then you will have two separate install trees.

Hope this helps.
