Your assumption is not totally correct. IPLing from A means it loads the OS which includes all the Permanently applied PTFS, but none of the Temporary applied PTFs. IPLing from B loads the OS with the permanent PTFS, but also loads the temporarily applied PTFS. I had this same situation happen to me once, where normally we IPLed from the B side, but somehow it got switched over to the A side. I switched it back to the B side the next time I reIPLed, ran for a couple weeks, then went through and permanently applied all the PTFs. It is suggested that you permanently apply the current temporary applied PTFs before you load a CUM tape. So, yes, you should re-IPL to the B side and let it run a couple weeks, then permanently apply the current PTFs before applying the CUM tape.

After creating my original post on the cume & group PTFs, I came across an interesting (?) situation on our V3R2 development box. DSPPTF shows: Product ID . . . . . . : 5763999 IPL source . . . . . . : ##MACH#A Release . . . . . . . . : V3R2M0 Type options, press Enter. 5=Display PTF details 6=Print cover letter 8=Display cover PTF IPL Opt ID Status Action _ TL98139 Temporarily applied None _ TL98048 Superseded None _ TL97322 Superseded None _ TL97231 Superseded None _ TL97126 Superseded None _ TL97063 Superseded None _ TL97014 Superseded None _ TL96317 Superseded None _ TL96282 Superseded None _ TL96233 Superseded None _ TL96219 Superseded None _ TL96191 Superseded None _ TL96165 Superseded None _ TL96144 Superseded None _ RE97230 Permanently applied None _ RE96102 Permanently applied None _ MF19696 Save file only None _ MF18809 Temporarily applied None etc.... Note that the last IPL source shows ##MACH#A. If I interpret correctly that the TL* entries are the cume PTFs, would it not appear that this box is currently running on a totally non-cume'd bare V3R2 OS? No one here has any idea how long this box has been running in ##MACH#A; most likely since cume 98139 was applied. I suppose I should IPL to ##MACH#B and run that for a week or so before installing the latest/last cume (subject to the question of whether I should even bother - see last post).
