Kris, The VM is z/VM 5.2 RSU 601.
I can test it with one LPAR that still needs to be IPLled. We have cloned some VM's so apart from some small local tailoring (like nodeID and TCPIP configs) the VM's are identical. Let's play around a little bit. Either a s guest or native. You mention drag 'n' drop in the HMC. Does that indeed mean that the SA-I PL in that case is bypassed and VM is IPLled using defaults (CPLOAD MODULE, MAINT CF1 etc)? I must say, I haven't seen an HMC up close in 4 years now because that is completely separate from our department and even located in a different building. My last HMC was the one on a 9672. It is a real pleasure I must be able to help our operators during IPL but to have no recent knowledge of the newer HMC and it's procedures and capabilities :- (. Regards, Berry.
