I have moved/cloned z/VM 6.4 systems and the only thing related to the new DASD addresses that I've had to do is run SALIPL against the new IPL volume and specify the real address of the device with the parm disk as part of the IPLPARMS text. For example, if F000 is the real address of the new z/VM 6.4 IPL volume (640RES), and F004 is the real address of the new volume with the parm disk containing the system configuration file (SYSTEM CONFIG), then after attaching F000 to my userid, I issue SALIPL as follows:
SALIPL F000 (volid 640RES extent 1 minivol MNTCF1 iplparms fn=SYSTEM ft=CONFIG pdnum=1 pdvol=F004 To determine the IPL parameters of the existing system, use the Q IPLPARMS command.

All of my device numbers / unit addresses will change. I have been successful in moving all of the z/linux volumes. My problem is how to move the 6 VM volumes since the IPL text has unit addresses in it. In z/vm 5.x I just zapped the 2 addresses in ipl text. In z/VM 6.4 the ipl text has all of 6 volume address in text and some in hex. Can I use SALIPL to change these addresses? SALIPL was run under the covers when I installed VM6.4; Is there a way to find out what was passed as parms to SALIPL.
