That being said, with 30+ LPARs and different IPL schedules, even if the IODF data set was destroyed, be it deleted on purpose or otherwise, there are plenty of other systems that could fix the problem. It gets built / maintained in our largest sysplex and it could even be re-built from the work file. But the IODF volume does get HSM incremental / full backups done against it as well. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS ITIL v3 Foundation Certified mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://search390.techtarget.com/ateExperts/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
