Hi:
I actually don't remember how to make Active a new IOCDS into HMC,
can anyone give me some tips ?.
Old IOCDS is A2.
New IOCDS must be A3, but how I can take A3 as an Active IOCDS ?.
Thanks in advance.

That's because MVS % Busy in LPAR mode is wrong.
MVS % Busy is the compliment of CPU Wait Time, as Wait Time is what is
