Re: z196 lb4ul
tyvm, Paul and Marcy: Paul's approach is to first come up with the new changes to a new SYS2817 CONFIG using FN= to IPL and leaving the old SYSTEM CONFIG unchanged and intact as a fallback.

Re: z196 lb4ul
I did it my way to avoid any issue with an unplanned IPL of the lpars. We have two lpars on the new z196 box. One of the lpars is our tech support lpar which could get IPLed during the week. I didn’t want an issue with trying to IPL either of the lpars before the actual cutover to the new box. This also allowed me to make my changes ahead of the cutover weekend. One less thing to do the night we switch over to the new box.

Yes Marcy is correct about adding P01 to your VSWITCH address. I will have to do something similar on February 13th when we move from a z10 to z196. My plan is to have two SYSTEM CONFIG members. One will be called SYS2817 CONFIG and I will use it to do the first IPL on the new box. That one will have my changes in it. If all goes well I will change SYSTEM CONFIG before the next IPL.

Re: z196 lb4ul
Look out for PORT number depending on the type of OSA cards you have access to. If your OSA connections are on PORT 1 of the OSA channel you will need to make changes to cover that. Our normal TCPIP stack was put on PORT 0 so no changes, but our VSWITCH connections ran on PORT 1 so we had to make changes to the VSWITCH definitions.
