Beside what has already been said, command migration and backup defaults to ML1 unless optional parameters are used.
Make sure you normal migration cycle moves everything from ML1 to ML2 nightly.

Has anyone else done this? I have not been able to get rid of the last ML1 pack because of the VTOC backups. Are these necessary with todays RAID DASD?? Thanks for any help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
