I have two floor systenm (two LPARs), one sysres is VMARES, the other is VMLRES. I also have Z53MAINT and Z54MAINT userids with corresponding 530R ES and 540RES volumes for my second level maintenance.
Once you can get your floor system away from using the IBM default volume labels, you can do a whole lot of good things with second level systems. /Tom Kern /U.S. Dept of Energy /301-903-2211 (office) /301-905-6427 (Mobile) On Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:22:30 -0600, McDonough, George <[email protected]> wrote: >Hello. > >Thanks to everyone who responded.

That was a hot topi c of conversation when I first joined this list. But it looks like I can u se distinct names for the second level machine with the corresponding update s to the config file.
