‘Offline_at_IPL’ are we assured that this statement will be
processed/respected before the Ipl proceeds so we will not
encounter CP picking up our ‘restored’ volume instead of the real

We use Offline_at_IPL for
exactly that purpose:
to tell CP to leave some dasd devices offline during
IPL so CP won’t look at their volids and possibly find they’re
duplicates of other online volids.
Your AUTOLOG1 PROFILE EXEC can do a CP VARY ON - to
put the offline devices
address range of the ‘restored’ dasd as
‘Offline_at_IPL’ are we assured that this statement will be
processed/respected before the Ipl proceeds so we will not encounter CP picking
up our ‘restored’ volume instead of the real production volume?
Thanks in advance,
