Thanks Jim. We are on top of the MAINT disks and CMS level. It is more the 
relationship, if any, of SFS to NFS to TCP/IP levels that is of concern. 

Big-bang seemed the only way to guarantee that we would be given the time to do 
the non-CP components. When we implemented the 4.4 CP, we were inundated with 
truly hot projects and never were able to find the time to do the rest.

Subject:        Re: CMS Levels

I had a problem when I first went to z/VM 4.4 because the SFS serves were 
still pointing to the MAINT ??? disk which was at the z/VM 4.3 level, so if 
you run SFS with a 5.2 CMS, make sure that whichever of the MAINT disks 
they, be default, access are at the 5.2 level.

My preference is to update a service at a time rather than doing a "big 
bang" type of update.
