How about putting a 2nd config file on the CF1, something like PREMNT CONFIG. The SYSTEM CONFIG has Offline_at_IPL of the backup packs, PREMNT has Offline of the new packs. If the IPL doesn't work, IPL and use fn=PREMNT on the SAPL.
If everything works as planned the volumes can be brought online and relabeled.

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?
