Jerry Here is what i have put together for myself - should work for DS8K also:
Delete all alias devices from the ESS specialist/DS8000 CLI PAVs will not be able to be used until the reconfiguration is completed . Issue V,xxx,ONLINE,UNCOND for all PAV devices The command above will force an IO to the alias device which no longer exists on the ESS/DS8000 and will unbind the alias allowing HCD to delete it dynamically. Activate new IODF The activation of the new IODF will delete any alias devices and define the new base devices in their place. Add new devices using ESS specialist or DS8000 CLI/GUI The new base devices can be added and will become available once this is done. Add alias devices using ESS specialist or DS8000 CLI/GUI The new alias devices can then be added and will become available once this is done. http://w3-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD100311 And the link to a WP which decribes the process very well (also for 2105 but mostly valid) regards Frank >Would someone point me to or list the steps that have to be done either on >z/OS or in the DS8100 prior to implementing an IODF that is changing Aliases >back to Base devices ? I am under the impression that the Aliases have to be >released in MVS before the new IODF can be loaded and my main storage guy >unavailable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
