There's the IODF and the IOCDS. Perhaps you've changed one but not the other. You should see an 'out of sync' message on the activate panel.
Yes, all is doable dynamically these days. Even so, a deactivate and activate sequence for an LPAR is almost the same as a POR. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Deaver Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 3:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: IODF Change... I have an IODF which has a mistake in it in regards to some new storage we've attached... CNTLUNIT CUNUMBR=5000,PATH=((CSS(0),B3,B2,82,83,40,41,D0,D1)),* UNITADD=((00,256)),CUADD=0,UNIT=2107 IODEVICE ADDRESS=(5000,228),CUNUMBR=(5000),STADET=Y,UNIT=3390B IODEVICE ADDRESS=(50E4,028),CUNUMBR=(5000),STADET=Y,UNIT=3390A The CUADD statements have the wrong value. They should be CUADD=50 etc instead of CUADD=0 etc. I altered the IODF and IPL'ed my test system, but the change has not taken. In other words, I still can't access the storage.... >From an init job... ICK30713I UNABLE TO ALLOCATE UCB, RC=0008, RSN=0004 FROM IOSODS ICK31024I UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME. ICK30003I FUNCTION TERMINATED. CONDITION CODE IS 12 12:26:00 10/13/09 I can't vary the paths online...

No POR necessary, right? What am I missing? Thanks. Jeffrey Deaver, Engineer Systems Engineering [email protected] 651-665-4231(v) IS - "Creating competitive advantage with technology.
