Dear all As we know,if we want to create a new system from a existing system,we usually clone the existing system.
When we clone the existing system,we could use a new name convention for the new system.for example : a new syslex name,a new system,a new MCAT name..... but it take few days to do it. I wonder whether I could create a new system by coping all volumes on the exsiting system by full volume copy command with volid;then could I change the syslex name or system name? I feel it faster than clone. Of course we need do something as the following examples: For example: Because there are duplex volumes,we need offline some of them from one system.because there is a new CF for the new system,we need redefine the CFRM.We aslo need modify VTAM&TCP/IP definition...... Are there any other considerations we should pay attention to when we create the system by coping all volumes? Any Suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks a lot!
