All,

As I've mentioned in the IBMVM mailing list (but not here), I'm working on a 
combination NSS and DCSS rescue system.  Initially, I defined it as starting 
and ending just under the 2G memory address because that seemed like a 
reasonable place.  It turns out I needed to have it end below the 2047M address 
so that the DCSSBKUP and DCSSRSAV CMS tools could be used.

So, I defined a _new_ DCSS using the same name (RESCROOT) so that I could 
populate it and save it at the necessary virtual storage address.  What I found 
was that there was no way to tell Linux to use the new one versus the existing 
one at the too-high virtual storage address.  At least I couldn't find a way 
around that.

I hated having to purge the DCSS before retrying because that meant the rescue 
system was unusable (to anyone who wasn't already using it) until I could get 
the new one re-saved.  Is there some z/VM or Linux incantation (or combination 
of those two) that will let me create and populate the new one without first 
purging the old one?


Thanks,

Mark Post
