Mark, I honestly don't remember if we had to POR. We haven't had z/VM on 2064's for quite awhile now. With 2084 and later machines, we've always had at least one LPAR running z/OS on each box. I don't think that's a policy, it's just the way things have worked out.

Thanks!

The IOCP was maintained by the z/OS people using HCD. They had a method of using the HMC to import the configuration into the z/VM machine. We didn't use an IODF, just an IOCP. These were 2064's in basic mode, but I would imagine that the process still works for newer machines. I don't know a lot about the process, but I know that none of it involved software or files on z/VM. The HMC talked to both machines, and loaded the IOCDS files without operating system involvement.
