I actually have a copy of USER DIRECT from 5.1 saved in z/os... I already had a mdisk defined in the 5.3 user direct pointing to the spot on the 5.1 volume that I needed.
So, I was able to do the ATT dasd SYSTEM and I could then ACCess ii! I will have to look at your EXEC a bit. Much too complicated for me to just "try"...I'm too green for that :\ Thanks for all your help. ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kris Buelens Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 9:42 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: no xautolog Yes, you need the whole USER DIRECT, but please rename it to some other fname that you don't confuse it with the 5.3 directory. With ATTACH to yourself, you can see the whole volume. To access a minidisk on that volume, you need some help from CP, therefore, the disk must be attached to CP ( i.e. ATTACH TO SYSTEM). After an ATTACH to SYSTEM, you will no longer get the "not mounted" error message. But, use my MDSK EXEC, it does it for you. Read the introduction comments in the MDSK EXEC to learn more. 2007/9/6, Anne D. Crabtree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When you say "source of the old CP directory" are you referring to the whole USER DIRECT? I tried to ATT rdev * and I added a MDISK statement in my 5.3 user directory, but I couldn't acc the mdisk. It kept saying the volume wasn't mounted. (It was the 510W01 volume that I needed.. so no worry about duplicate volume names) ________________________________ -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
