evil thought. Come up without paging space - paging early life will go to spool. Have the autolog machine bring up the real page volumes. Moving spool a whole 'nuther thing - so who cares? David

The original question was >whether there's a way to move the pages later. Yes, I understand that. If you can/are willing to IPL, great, none of this is a concern. The problem that exhibits is that once you're up, there is the situation that there are internal-to-CP pages out there that no amount of virtual machine fiddling can do anything about -- you end up with a volume that has 1 CP page on it, so you can't do anything with that volume except IPL with DRAIN records. There's no way to ask CP to please move that one page so I can get that volume offline without doing a full IPL. > If and when Live Guest Relocation comes out, "If. If is good." But anyway. IPL is a very big hammer to fix something like this. It's an annoying thing that bugs me, which causes me to pick at it to see if there is a solution short of wait and see. Just thinking out loud. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
