I am going to respond yes to your 1st statement with the caveat that some ids may have to re-ACCESS a minidisk or SFS directory and probably yes to your 2nd.
However, there are times when it is much more convenient to do a FULL IPL rather than restart various machines; such as changing the CMSFILxx DCSS. This means that any SFS SVM using that DCSS must be restarted and all users connected to that SFS must re-ACCESS the directories they had accessed in that SFS. In our case, this would involve almost all users as we have a P-disk accessed by all users which is an SFS directory. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leland Lucius Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 11:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Maintenance and need for IPL So, to be certain I understand...(I'm gettin' to be one of the aged ones here. ;-)) The ONLY time an FULL IPL of VM is required is when CPLOAD get touched. All other maintenance can be brought in with cycling of specific guests like TCPIP or DIRMAINT. Does it also follow then that the only reason a Linux guest would need to come down is when CPLOAD changed and the FULL IPL is required?
