z/OS TCPIP will work just fine with only the "default root" (the root that is mounted if there is an error in BPXPRM**). It also supports a "altroot" file system.
This sounds to me like a planning/data placement failure, not a sysplex design point failure. </snip> I was told a "Softek" product may provide this function as part of data migration support. But no, we just have z/OS and a couple of Redbooks, Whitepapers and the ringing sound of IBM sales representatives that "z means zero downtime". Now we have to move the underlying volser of the TCPIP unix file system portion and face a sysplex shutdown! </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
