But, there is no real need to IPL the 5.1 system to grab things you forgot. The only thing you need is a copy of the source of the old CP directory, and your current VM LPAR needs access to the DASDs of the old system (and the old dasds need other labels than the current VM). Then you can ATTACH an old disk to SYSTEM and issue DEFINE MDISK, or you can copy the the MDISK record from the old CP directory in your current directory. To facilitate the use of DEFINE MDISK, I've got an MDSK EXEC. Suppose the source of the old VM directory is named OLDVM DIRECT, you could simply issue
MDSK OLDVM.DISKACNT 191 (FILELIST DETACH and the MDSK EXEC finds the MDISK in OLDVM DIRECT, ATTACHes the volume to SYSTEM, issue DEFINE MDISK, ACCESS it, start FILELIST; when FILELIST ends, everything gets DETACHEed again. I'll send Anne my EXEC. 2007/9/6, Anne D.
