Hi Dana,
/snip If IBM could just provide a full volume backup of the sysres and dlib volumes... /esnip If you want to 'load and go', or at least a close approximation, you might want to check into CustomPac services. I have not used them myself. https://www-03.ibm.com/services/ca/en/custompac/index.html If you just want to bring the ServerPac settings from your previous 1.11 install, check into the merge function in the ServerPac dialogs.

In the past this site had been quite a ways behind in upgrades, so it was sort of done from scratch each time. This time around we be migrating from 1.11 to 1.13 (supported!) Has anyone else considered what's the easisest way to create a new sysres that we can begin testing 1.13 on our test sytems? I don't want the Full system replacement and all the work of creating all new running datasets. Software upgrade sounds like it is going to want to reach out and update my existing running datasets, I don't really want that either - I can read the migration manual. I'd like a 3rd option - Create the SYSRES and DLB volume and leave it at that. Can a guy selectively skip some of the installation jobs if they are deemed not needed? Seems like the whole installation dialog is much more complicated that need be. If IBM could just provide a full volume backup of the sysres and dlib volumes, over time would nudge people to tailor the installations less and run a more vanilla installation.
