This will use a new prefixed VOLID of '54B' (replacing the 540). b. Updates the SYSTEM CONFIG reflecting the new VOLID c. Updates a copy of the 1st level directory (USER2 DIRECT) changing the VOLIDs to match the new prefix d. Runs DIRECT against the 2nd level/backup system with the updated directory (USER2 DIRECT). 2) FLASH2ND process creates unique VolSer (VOLID) and is IPLable (w/o changes) Frank M.

How can I be sure the IPL will not pick up these standby disks but WILL pick them up if I need them for fallback? Is just changing the 540RES IPL address enough? _____________________________________________________ This message contains information which is privileged and confidential and is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
