In z/VM 5.4, we had two set of packs (a set consisting of a "res" pack with the code on it + a spool + a page volume) that we'd alternate between as we brought up different levels of maintenance. We'd IPL off of the "res" pack for a set and it'd pop in the single spool and page volumes associated with it--since we only need a single spool volume and we don't really care what's on it from before the IPL, this seemed to work pretty easily to switch between levels of code. But either we need to add another volume to our sets now, or I'm doing something funky with z/VM 6.2. I looked at this layout and put in my best guesses:
RELVOL/620RL1 - looked like code, so I used my "res" pack here RES/M01RES - actually appeared to contain lpar-specific data, so I thought it wouldn't change and put an "lpar" volume name here When I first IPLed, though, it wanted that "lpar-specific" (RES) volume, which I'm sure you guys all knew from the start. Should I use a 4-volume "pack set"--one release, one res, one spool and one page--now that we're going to z/VM 6.2? or can we do one release volume for the release, period--maybe that never changes while we're on 6.2--and just use 1 per release + the original "3-pack" set? Does anyone else on z/VM 6.2 do the volume-switching for code method we're using who could perhaps recommend something? Thanks!
