Hello George,
Yes as long as your 2nd level machine has the disk attached to it. Now the usual warning that you are running with two sets of CP labeled disks. If anything happens that cause you to Reipl z/VM you could have some issues. Look back at the archives and you will find how to adjust the names of your 2nd level z/VM system.

I have DDRed my 540RES, 540W01, 540W02, Level 1 disks to separate disks and they now have the same volsers. Do I need to also DDR the PAG and SPL disks or can I just FORCE start with empty disks. The directory and CF parm disks came over with 540RES. Since the names have not changed Is their "referential integrity" still intact?
