The "installation copy" of the 1.13 root f/s that came with the Serverpac shows /etc and /var as directories, not symlinks, so perhaps we got a "devective" Serverpac? At install time we created a separate /Service113 directory on which to mount the 1.13 root f/s while the sandbox was running 1.11. I did not perform the actual installation; a colleague did. I'll make them symlinks when we "clone" the root f/s for a maintenance copy. At the moment we don't share filesystems outside the respective LPARs, and everything works the way it is now. But at some point in the future we may go "platinum plex" and will need the symlinks. :-) -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
