Mark, I don't know but we used to run into the same problem at DR until we started defining our CFRM policy with 4 CFs.
CF1 and CF2 are the ones at home. CF3 and CF4 are the ones at DR. I define the policies with a preflist of (CF1,CF2,CF3,CF4). Now when we're at home or DR IPL proceeds without a hitch. I think I got the idea for doing this from a post on this list a few years ago.

We fixed the CFRM policy and re-wrote it replacing the incorrect policy (same policy name). When we re-ipled, the system was still looking for the CF lpar with the incorrect CPU serial number even though the CFRM policy with the old serial number wasn't in the CFRM dataset. We couldn't get the system to IPL until I deleted and redefined the SYSPLEX couple dataset. Does the sysplex couple dataset retain information about the CFRM policy in use other than the name of the last used CFRM policy? -- Mark Jacobs Time Customer Service Tampa, FL ---- It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious. -- Robert Heinlein ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
