Sorry Guy, I realized I typed your name incorrectly only after I had hit send.
>>> Guy Gardoit <[email protected]> 10/14/2009 12:56 PM >>> I disagree completely. To avoid easily obtained "out of sync" conditions, this process should always be followed for *any* IODF changes: "WAAAAAS" 1. "W" After the new production IODF is created, use HCD to write it to one of the IOCDS in each machine. I like to coordinate the last two characters of the IODF data set with the IOCDS I intend to write it to. Example: Create production IODF00 and write it to IOCDS A0. 2. "AAAA..." Activate the IODF in all systems using HCD - I try to avoid "activate configuration sysplex wide". I'm not brave enough for that one. Just do one system at a time. 3. "S" From one LPAR on each machine, use HCD to switch to the new IOCDS - same (ok, almost) as doing a POR Following this process will always avoid any chance of hardware/software being out of sync. Sometimes laziness is a good qulaity in a systems programmer - but not with hardware/software configuration changes.
