Hello:
Last Saturday we migrated our HFS sysplex root to zFS. We respond our own
questions:
2 .- Is it necessary execute in step 4 a pax -wr -pe -XCM ./ /newroot command
to populate the new filesystem? -- No, but the BPXWH2Z utility in batch didn't
work fine. It' canceled with sysplex root
on Monday
Thanks and Regards
