It might be useful for configuration management tools like Intelligent Orchestrator or Tivoli Provisioning Mgr to be able to extract the currently available parameters sets (not necessarily only the running set) w/o generating a "change" (cf below). If something like TIO or TPM are interrogating the Linux guest wrt to configuration, it'd be nice to see what all your options are and capture that in the TIO/TPM database. > If you want to know the resulting parameters for the current zipl > configuration, use 'zipl -V' (the IPL record will be updated though). Seems a bit risky -- if that's the only way to do this, and it generates an actual update, it might be useful to provide an option that just interprets the current parameter set list and prints it out without the update. Something to put in the hopper for the next round of updates, maybe? -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
