Jon, When you update anything on CF1 it is CURRENT for the next IPL.
the parm disks CF2 and CF3 are backup disks that you can IPL from if you need to GO BACK for any reason. I would not copy anything from CF1 to CF2 or CF3 myself. When you apply SERVICE and PUT2PROD this will copy CF1 to CF2 to be used as the new back up and CF2 is copied to CF3. I believe that is the correct order anyway it is copied for you by the Service process and that is the answer to your original question. good luck Bill Munson Sr. z/VM Systems Programmer Brown Brothers Harriman & CO. 525 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, NJ 07310 201-418-7588 President - MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ VM Project Officer - SHARE http://seattle.share.org/joinme http://www.linkedin.com/in/BillMunson "Lesseg, Jon" <jon.les...@pacificorp.com> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 03/04/2010 05:28 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject CP's Parm Disks This is probably a bonehead question, so please have patience as I?m new to VM. When I update SYSTEM CONFIG on MNTCF1 after releasing and linking and setting access, am I responsible to update the copies on MNTCF2 & MNTCF3 after I?m comfortable with the results using something like COPYFILE or is it maintained for me?
