An important thing. MPLX.IODF01 in IOE105 is not the same IODF we use in the
actívate hardware. It's the same name but the IODF used in the actívate
hardware is cataloged in another device, in another mastercat. International
systems can't Access to this device (is not available in IODF configuration)

<<I would also be interested in what you have coded on the IODF statements in
your LOADxx members and what are the names of the IDOF(s)?
I suspect you will have to do a software only activate on the international
LPARs (and test as well if you want), then a Hardware/software activate on
the last PROD LPAR.>>

Jesse,
<<A couple of assumptions. OP has only one CEC with multiple LPARs, right?>>
---> Correct
<<IODF 'package' just means the (linear) VSAM cluster IODFxx, right?>> --->
Right. It's the same IODF but only with the international lpars. There isn't
definition about CEC or another lpar.
<<First off, I have to say that this is an unusual way to manage IODFs. We have
three CECs in the enterprise, but we use (multiple copies of) a *single* IODF
for all LPARs on all CECs. OTOH we own all the LPARs, so we have no motivation
to hide any of them from any of the others.>>
The international systems are managed by outsourcing team. Another option is
give access to international system to our IODF/LOADxx device but setting OFF
option device in OS definition.
I forget to explain our secuence in dynamic activation
PROD Sysplex: Activate software and hardware
Test sysplex: IPL systems
International systems: Activate software
The actívate software in international system is executing AFTER the actívate
hardware in PROD Sysplex. We don't know if this secuence is correct.
<<-- Write the IODF-derived IOCDS to one of the slots in the CEC. Our CECs have
(forever had) 4 slots labelled A0 - A3.>> ---> Always done in PROD Sysplex
<<Set the 'next active' IOCDS to match the slot containing the new IOCDS. We
always use the same slot for IPL/POR, so that slot gets overwritten with each
new IOCDS.>> ----> Always done in HMC
<<Use the appropriate designation in LOADxx (LOADA1 in this case) to find the
IODF 'package' that matches HSA. If you hardcode an IODF value, that's the one
he will use whether it matches HSA or not. >> ----> The IODF coded in LOADA1
member is the package IODF. With the same name than PROD IODF, but it's a
package. Could they use the package IODF in IPL time or they need PROD IODF?
