We have two FLEX-ES systems on opposite ends of the campus. The DR system does not have as many tape drives as the production system. The production system has a drive at 0591 but the DR system does not.
In the AUTOLOG1 DIRECT I have DEDICATE 0591 0591 When AUTOLOG1 starts up it does a CP Q V 0591 and if it doesn't exist I know I am on the DR machine. AUOTLOG1 also has write access to TCPMAINTs 198 disk. If I am not on the production machine then an EXEC on AUTOLOG1 changes the IP address in PROFILE TCPIP, DETACHES 198 and then AUTOLOGs TCPIP. If 0591 exists I know I am on the production machine so I just DETACH it and continue with the production startup. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 44 years [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock"
