Dave, >We're not a sysplex, so none of this applies.
I beg to differ. :-) Unless you're still at z/OS 1.2, you have a WLM CDS which requires a sysplex CDS which makes you a sysplex. Well, a sysplex of one called a monoplex (Shane, I don't want to hear a comment from you:-) !). So this still applies, but it answers the main question: The data from the sysplex CDS were taken, and you should see quite a few IEA196I messages telling you that the new values were ignored. I think. Did you check the syslog for them? Can someone from IBM (Kevin maybe?) confirm that this ignoring of old values is still true for a monoplex? >Do you IPL in a specific order in a sysplex after hardware maintenance ??? >Last one down is first one >up ??? Yes, I did. Back when the lpars in our sysplexes were not distributed across boxes. Depending on the effect I wanted. I deliberately 'cold-started' the sysplex to do console cleanup and to make sure that the consolxx definitions I wanted were taken. I remember that we even had a discussion on ibm-main about it because IBM believes that no one ever *wants* to cold-start a sysplex. Some installations do the cold-start by accident, some have a specific order dictated by business reasons. Some are astonished when they accidentally do a cold-start, and for the first time some console definitions apply that had been put into the console member about x years ago. Which usually results in effects like you've seen:-) Regards, Barbara -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
