I have a question regarding DirMaint and how to migrate/merge from one release to another. Here's the scenario:
I have z/VM 5.2 running in production with DirMaint. I have 20+ instances of SLES9 & 10 and everything is running great. I also have z/VM 5.4 running in a test LPAR which also has DirMaint, 2 instances of SLES10, as well as several CA products. I want to bring 5.4 into production. I'm trying to determine how to merge all the directory entries for my production systems into the test directory prior to IPL'ing z/VM 5.4 as production. My first concern is the EXTENT CONTROL. Each instance of DirMaint has its own DASD pool, separate from the other. I am concern about things getting mucked up by consolidating the pools. What's the most effective way to do this? When z/VM 5.4 is up and running correctly, the plan is to rebuild the test LPAR with the latest release of z/VM so we can stay on top of the releases. Thanks in advance, Dave
