Ah - I see you meant for this to be run against new DASD -- assuming the copy had been done... I wasn't sure how/when the DASD would be copied to the old...so it does depend... the script should be run before or after depending on the method ;-) Scott Rohling On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at

Good script -- I would use it 'after' the move though - not before.. backout is much easier that way... make changes on the new dasd - not the old. Use SAPL and change PDVOL= to correct address... 'then' run this script once everything comes up and looks good. IMHO. Scott Rohling On Thu,

For that process to work you will have to load a new Standalone program Loader using the new Device address for the PDR volume on the PDVOL = Here is an example of an exec to load the IPL SALIPL file from the MAINT 190 "S" disk MKSAIPL EXEC: /* rexx exec */ true = (1=1) false = \true

Q IPLPARMS should display what was set in the IPL SALIPL when it was loaded to the RESVOL When you move the VM Volumes as long as the VOLSER's don't change there should be no issues unless you are setting the new devices OFFLINE AT IPL time in Your SYSTEM CONFIG file. For the most part Spool

Just a small warning: QUERY IPLPARMS shows you the parameters that will be used on SHUTDOWN REIPL. They will typically be the parameters that were in effect at IPL time, but they can be changed by SET IPLPARMS. I recommend updating AUTOLOG1 to stash away the output of QUERY IPLPARMS so

Yes - give it a parm of either SYSG (the integrated 3270 console on the HMC) -- or your main operator console address. For example - if it is E00 ... Then enter PARM of E00 at the load screen... then the SAPL screen will come up there ..if on the normal console - just change PDVOL= ..

I know what SALIPL and SAPL are but not SAIPL. Is SAIPL just a typo? When we IPL we never see the SAPL screen where I can override the PDVOL= The original install resulted in no SAPL screen being displayed. Is there a way to make this appear when IPLing? -Original Message- From: Linux

I have moved/cloned z/VM 6.4 systems and the only thing related to the new DASD addresses that I've had to do is run SALIPL against the new IPL volume and specify the real address of the device with the parm disk as part of the IPLPARMS text. For example, if F000 is the real address of the new

Thanks for the info. I get the following. Current IPL parameters: FN=SYSTEMFT=CONFIGPDNUM=1 PDVOL=A84C CONS=0908 The PDVOL points to common volume which contains the SYSTEM CONFIG file. I wonder if I can Change PDVOL to the new address for the common volume. Shutdown

CP Query IPL gives you the parms used... You can use SAIPL to bring up z/VM the first time on new DASD (just specify correct PDVOL=) .. then run SALIPL on the IPL volume to make the parms stick and not need SAIPL next time.. Scott Rohling On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 2:17 PM Davis, Jim
