It could be that we were one of the first to get a Z9BC, but I was missing maintenance. The maintenance I missed was added the week before we upgraded. I learned to keep watching PSP. We IPL'd fine and got everything up and running, but when I tried to add new DASD through HCD, I got mis-matches all over the place. We had some issues with our vendor with conversion too, but missing the maintenance was the worst part. I don't know if the MP3000 uses PCHIDs, so you might be able to ignore this. If you can see PCHIDs via HCD in your converted IODF on your MP3000, then you have the maintenance I missed. Also be very careful with your conversion process for the IODF. I kind of counted on guidance from our vendor and I got it all messed up. The doc I found to be most complete for this was actually conversion from 9672 to z890. I can't find it right now, but ask your vendor about the IODF conversion process. If they get a glazed look, then say something and I'll find the doc I used. It's not that hard, but it's kind of convoluted in that you have to export the IODF, run it through a PCHID mapping tool, and then import it back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
