Our 2003-205 can be IMLed to do Dynamic I/O. We never did implement that
feature --- we just never made many I/O changes over the yrs -- so I
don't know if that negates the need for an inital IOCDS load or not.

defined in the active IOCDS. It seems to me that was why I used to
have to give a tape to the CE to load a basic IOCDS that would be
enough to start with.
I hope I'm wrong.

Hi Peter, that is what I will do.
Just talked to the hardware installer. No, he is not going to
create a basic IOCP for us. But, he agreed to format the Shark for us
to emulate 3390-3. He will also leave us a list on what CHPID the
devices are connected to.
I have managed to create a standalone IPLable tape with ICKDSF and
DDR before they took down the Hitachi. I would format the needed
DASDs and restore the CP OWNED volumns - 4 of them. Then I will try
to IPL VM. At that stage, I can use all 6 tape drives to restore the
other 60 DASDs. Hopefully, I can re-IPL to bring up the full VM system.
Since CP would sense all the devices, I think I can use the
DCPRDEVS utility to build a file of all real devices on the system.
From there, I can build the final IOCS file and put it back to the
service element using the IOCP command.
Thanks for your suggestions. Regards,
...Roland
