tyvm, Paul and Marcy: Paul's approach is to first come up with the new changes to a new SYS2817 CONFIG using FN= to IPL and leaving the old SYSTEM CONFIG unchanged and intact as a fallback.
What is the thought of making the change to SYSTEM CONFIG after renaming the it to something else as a fallback and just IPLing normally, and only using FN= in case of fallback? What is "Best Practice"?

I will have to do something similar on February 13th when we move from a z10 to z196. My plan is to have two SYSTEM CONFIG members. One will be called SYS2817 CONFIG and I will use it to do the first IPL on the new box. That one will have my changes in it. If all goes well I will change SYSTEM CONFIG before the next IPL.

We are currently using PORT 0 on our Z9. Does this mean our VSWITCH definition (below) in SYSTEM CONFIG which defaults to PORT 0 will not work on the z196 unless we code PORT 1? define vswitch lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 George Henke/NYLIC 02/01/2011 03:40 PM To The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> cc Subject Re: z196 lb4ulLink ty all very much.

The port number really only comes into play if you have an OSA Express3 card and are connecting to the second port or what is called the A1 port on the card layout.

We do not specify PORT number in our VSWITCH definition below (from SYSTEM CONFIG): define vswitch lnxvsw1 rdev 9004 Sorry to ask: But does this mean we do not use an OSA.? Or does it mean we use a default? I think it may mean the former.

Port number is not the same as port name. Two different parameters entirely. Mark Post
