We are in a global mirror environment and the test DR z/VM environment is at another location. Creating a different SYSTEM CONFIG is not the problem, it is the time constraint because we would need to shutdown the test zVM environment, start global mirror again and wait for it to catch up and then try again. That is what we are having to do now since an override is not possible for the DEVICES statement.
Thank you for everyone's input. I appreciate all the suggestions.

But, what's so difficult in copying your current SYSTEM CONFIG in eg TEST CONFIG, make your changes and specifying FNAME=TEST in the SAPL screen? 2011/2/17 Perez, Steve S <sspe...@corelogic.com<mailto:sspe...@corelogic.com>> I do not have another filename to specify. I can create one at a later time after we finish this test because we have a time frame to get this test to work, but in the meantime, is there an override command to the DEVICES OFFLINE_AT_IPL statement in the SYSTEM CONFIG that I can use through the the SALIPL screen ?

The system (Test DR z/VM environment) cannot continue because the OFFLINE_AT_IPL statement contains the address of the PAGE volumes. So we are thinking that having the PAGE volume addresses included in the OFFLINE_AT_IPL list is keeping the PAGE volumes from coming online and therefore preventing the system from initializing. My other option would be to shutdown the DR z/VM environment and update the SYSTEM CONFIG without those ranges and create a new CPLOAD module to see if that is what is actually causing the z/VM system from fully initializing.
