But then, how do you apply maintenance, or implement z/OS upgrades? If you have two or more "IPL volumes" for a given z/OS image, the implication is that you also have two or more instances of SYS1.PARMLIB which you must keep synchronized to avoid astonishment when IPLing from one of the alternate "IPL volumes". -jc- -- "Put a little Beethoven on your Chopin Liszt." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
