Yes. I know how to do everything manually, but am looking at what it takes to automate the entire process *without* GDPS but with SA for z/OS 4.1/4.2, current HMC microcode levels, and BCPii (z/OS 2.3 as I type this, but z/OS 2.4 shortly). Z14_ZR1, if that matters. -Original Message-

Bob I have documented a manual process, I understand BCPii can perform many of these tasks, like MSU changes and I suppose CBU activation. my HL process is to activate the CBU record on my DR box prior to shutting down and deactivating all prod LPARs and CF's that will be moved to that box.

One of my reasons for asking about zCloud here was that I have been asked (at second- or third-hand) whether an ISV product is “supported” on zCloud, so there is clearly a case to answer. At first sight, if zCloud just means transferring LPARs to an IBM-owned machine, the answer would be ‘yes’.
