Ummmmm...... I don't think I like that one. What about all the RDEVs you said to delete? And the offline subchannels? In actual fact, a funny thing happened. After sending out the email, I tried again to vary on the CHPID, and it did NOT complain! So I tried varying on the PATH. I think that also took two tries. Then when I tried to vary on the devices I got a COMMAND REJECT message for *every* device with an online path on that chpid. And *then*... it worked! (I also went through all the same messy stuff with a second chpid). So.. apparently you CAN change devices, it's just messy. I accessed the mirror dasd via the moved chpid, and saw copied NEW data, so I am confident that I really did what I meant to do. Thanks! Shimon P.S. Apologies to the listmaster for accidentally using the wrong "From" address on the last post.
