Hi Mark,
Thanks for the information. The one thing I forgot to mention was that I cannot access the new addresses from the z/VM LPAR that I am copying to. So that is why I needed a way to make the changes before I copied the packs over so that when they were copied to the new the System Config and User Directory files would be reflecting the new system's addresses. I think the steps you outlined would require that both of the LPARS have access to the new addresses. It is not the case here. What do you think?

Save as USERC DIRECT A (perhaps). 5) LINK or ATTACH the new sysres volume to your userid using the device address specified on the DIRECT statement 6) Issue DIRECTXA USERC DIRECT A 7) IPL!
