Hi Shane Instead of using /service as the mount point we use /SYSRT1
After maintenance is installed the contents of SYSRT* are cloned to SYSRS* before rolling out the new set to dev and prod lpars. We also mount the active res as /SYSRS1 All access to /usr/lpp etc are done using symlinks. Since we use /SYSRT1 instead of /service it means changing all the SMPE DDDEFs to use /SYSRT1 etc. But that means all mounts are done consistently via the SYSRES VOLUME name, even when we test IPL off the SYSRT1 volume. Regards Bruce Hewson of course, our res volume names are different from above but I hope you can get the idea ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
