First another question. When you updated the USER DIRECT did you expect the changes made there to b online when you IPL's the system? You did not mention a DIRECTXA of the USER DIRECT to the new RES pack (assuming that is where the DRCT space is allocated). Without those changes you may not be seeing any of the changes you expect to see. The USER DIRECT file is just a source file. The DRCT space allocated for the system is where CP reads all the definitions.

(CMS/CTR) (CTR) Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2008 8:42 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Recovery question Hi I am trying to bring up my test LPAR which is a clone of another VM LPAR. Before I did this I needed to update the SYSTEM CONFIG file and the USER DIRECTORY to point to different RES, PAGE, SPOOL..etc. I attached the RES of the system I am trying to bring up to the working system, I then issued a DEFINE MDISK 991 39 120 53DRES and then ACC 991 M. After I did this I was pointing to my SYSTEM CONFIG file on the TEST RES. I made the changes to the SYSTEM CONFIG file and saved it. Next, I wanted to change the USER DIRECT to point to different RES and such. I did another DEFINE MDISK 991 511 175 53DRES and then ACC 991 M. After I did this I was pointing to my USER DIRECT file on the TEST RES. I made the changes to the USER DIRECT file and saved it. Next, I tried IPLing the TEST LPAR and I noticed that it was still looking at the SYSTEM CONFIG without my changes from above as well the USER DIRECT without my changes from above. It appears that the changes did not take. Where did I go wrong?
