Best we can recall from our datacenter move last fall, we didn't even
cold-start JES2 at the new location after restoring "everything"
(including checkpoint) from full-volume dumps. There may have been some
"minor complaints" initially from JES2, but everything worked correctly
and we haven't had to "look back" at all. I guess it's possible that
the "minor complaints" might have been attributable to DFSMSdss'
(mis)handling of the "changed" bits in the VTOCs at restore time, but we
never thought to try to make a connection between that and the "stale"
user PDS we discovered after the move.
