Hi Pat

appreciate the comments and feedback.

Now we've actually done this we found there were surprisingly fewsteps to doing the SAVSTG/RSTSTG operation. After you IPL and selectthe option to RSTSTG it all "just happens".

I've done a lot of unloads/reloads and this does seem a simplerprocedure in very specific circumstances.

I would load/unload because it requires nothing to do
this function and you get a nice balanced "scatter load"
on all drives using this method.

The "gig-mig" is a little more complicated and introduces
too many variables that might or might not go wrong.

I can't really give you a decent comparison between the
two methods since I have never used savstg.

I'm just not clear on why a savstg is any different than
a option 21 but I noted on the help screen that IBM
recommends savstg for "smaller" systems.

I "always" go with the most straight forward method...
