Tom,

I don't know if the 7060 has a HMC but if it does, make sure that when you
use a different IOCP that you use the HMC to set the new IOCP as the default
in the ACTIVATION PROFILE after you write it out.

Subject: IOCDS change on 7060

We have a 7060 (Multiprise 3000) and we added some tape drives using 
dynamic I/O configuration.  We then wrote the new IOCDS to the 
hardware as A0 and issued the SET ACTIVE_IOCDS A0 command.  I did a 
query at the time on the 7060's support element and saw that it was 
showing the new IOCDS as "active" (although at that time it hadn't 
been used in a power-on reset).

This last weekend there was a power outage, so when they did the 
power-on reset, I presumed the new IOCDS would be used in the POR 
without any operator intervention, but it was not.   I had based this 
on a sentence in the 4.2 Planning and Administration Guide, in the 
"Lock-Step Philosophy" section, item 6, which deals with the SET 
IOCDS_ACTIVE command:  "The processor will use this active IOCDS file 
during the next power-on reset (POR)."  I have verified that a POR did
occur.

Does anyone know why the 7060 wouldn't have used the new IOCDS 
automatically in the POR, as the manual seems to say it should have?
