Not desperate enough to try something which has the risk of really breaking things.

Since things seem to be working, I think my job is safe unless I make things worse by trying heroic methods that backfire. Another POR seems to be the best solution, since right now I'm the only one that knows anything is broken. I'll have to fess up to an oops when I ask for the POR, but that's not a big deal. > > At least one device has to be defined as dynamic, for the IODF to be dynamic. That's OK. Everything in our configuration is defined as dynamic that can be. The only problem is the discrepancy between the IOCDS and the IODF, which effectively makes everything not dynamic. There are a couple of things I guess I don't understand about this process. In a normal situation, I have a hardware configuration that was loaded from an IOCDS at POR, and an IODF that matches it. Then I can activate a new IODF which is different from the currently loaded config, and everything changes. So if I can change the config on a running system by activating a different IODF, what's different about the IPL process? Why can't it just do whatever activate does to change the hardware configuration to match the IODF being loaded? And what configuration am I really running with now? The one in the IOCDS, or the one in the active IODF? -- Matt Simpson -- z/OS Support 219 McVey Hall -- (859) 257-2900 x300 University Of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506 http://jms.cc.uky.edu/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
