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.

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?
