Is there any difference between D/R exercise and a normal IPL? (Load parameters or something like that?) Just a comment on NIP consoles: We moved from 2074 to OSA-ICC about two years ago, but even before that we deleted all NIP consoles from IODF. That means all IPL messages at NIP phase go to HMC console(s). We haven't seen any disadvantages in doing so. -- Zaromil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
