If not wanting to IPL VM, after ensuring ‘online’ directory correctly updated, attach the devices to SYSTEM via CP commands and logoff/on the guests to get them linked? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
