I have changed my sysplex root from R/O to R/W without any problems, but I don't have much activity against my OMVS file systems. I don't think it really unmounts and remounts the file system, I think it just changes the attributes while it's mounted (using "Change attributes..." from the ISHELL Mount Table panel). >>> Gregg Kimbrough <gregg.kimbro...@bcbsfl.com> 7/20/2010 2:41 PM >>> Hiya: anyone have any experience on changing a shared sysplex root using the Ishell? Impacts: like TCPIP coming to an halt while it does the unmount and remount behind the scenes? I'm trying to avoid doing OMVS,SHUTDOWN since TCPIP is going to have to be quiesce along with other tasks. Why do I want to do this? So I don't have to take an outage to make the change. I need to create a couple more version root directories for cloning purposes.
