Sounds like your IODF (point of view of the operating system) and IOCDS (point of view of the hardware) are out of sync. From the 'dynamically activate' screen, choose 'view active configuration'.
Once you figure out which IOCDS you are running on (that's the one in the support element), you can dynamically activate an IODF (SYS1.IODFxx) that matches. Assuming you do, in fact, have a matching IOCDS loaded, you can then dynamically activate both the software and hardware changes. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Rodriguez Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 6:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: HCD v1.4 I thought that I had this figured out, but I don't...On Sunday morning Operations had done a POR (Power On Reset) to load a new configuration (SYS1.IODF00). The new configuration deleted old (no longer existing) devices and switched the 3174 console controllers to ESCON direct (without a converter). In the clean up as I was deleting old disks, I missed the fact that the esoteric called VIO was deleted because the disk associated with it were gone. To try and fix the problem I added VIO, but for some reason, I can't dynamically activate the new configuration. When I display the active configuration it says to both Hardware / Software changes allowed: the word No. Does anyone know how I can get around this problem? Help will be appreciated...
