Yes, tyvm, Frank, I remember it well and I guess it is time to use it. I was just hoping I would not have to.
But I guess not or you would not have gone to the trouble of creating it. "Frank M.

This will use a new prefixed VOLID of ‘54B’ (replacing the 540). b. Updates the SYSTEM CONFIG reflecting the new VOLID c. Updates a copy of the 1st level directory (USER2 DIRECT) changing the VOLIDs to match the new prefix d. Runs DIRECT against the 2nd level/backup system with the updated directory (USER2 DIRECT). 2) FLASH2ND process creates unique VolSer (VOLID) and is IPLable (w/o changes) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of George Henke/NYLIC Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 10:24 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Duplicate VOLSERs at IPL I plan to DDRed my system disks 540RES, 540SPL, 540W01, 540W02, before I apply maintenance to Level 1 and PUT2PROD, so that I have a *hot* fallback when I IPL. the maintenance. How can I be sure the IPL will not pick up these standby disks but WILL pick them up if I need them for fallback? Is just changing the 540RES IPL address enough? _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
