It has value when you are running many VM systems at different levels.
Thank you, Scott From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Rohling Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 12:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Migration questions Rename them to your 'standard'.. Stick with VM1RES, etc..... that's my advice. I don't like tying volume labels to z/VM releases. It seems especially silly with paging volumes... Q CPLEVEL if you can't remember the release your'e running :-) When you migrate -- relabel the 'old' volumes to something like VMBRES, VMBSPL... until you're confident you want to get rid of them.

Now, I know that when migrating to z/VM 5.4, I'll end up with 540RES, 540SPL, etc. What do other shops do regarding volsers when migrating? We have 2 z/VM systems (all running z/Linux guests).
