We are converting everything to z/os.e but running in the roadblock of

1.7, I can 'rename' a partition presumably via a dynamic change.
Has anyone verified this? Has anyone actually tried it?
This feature requires z990 or higher.
..and z/os 1.6 onwards...(not sure whether z890 supports it, it probably
does as HCD allows a * for the LPAR name)
but...be prepared to jump thru some hoops..
you can only rename a partition that is 'reserved', ie has a name of '*'
So first, you have to make your partition reserved.. and to do that you
have to remove all the CHPIDs (access and candidate). I think that takes
at least one ACTIVATE, Then you can rename the LPAR to what you want,
and then re-define the CHPIDS another ACTIVATE... oh and the LPAR can't
be active when it happens! So yes it can be done.. but you might find a
POR easier.. One more thing you can't add an LPAR dynamically..

Ps.
I might have the number of ACTIVATES wrong.. but it's a least two..
