Re: Change controller of a display device

Thanks Rob and Chris.

I just was wondering if anything had changed.

My reasoning, for good or bad, for putting all these sessions on a
single controller was to try to containerize them. These sessions all
start with a C or an S, followed by six digits. We have a bunch of
others like this. This big bunch is for the people who are working
diligently to scrap the system, at a higher level. My concern was to
not have a controller too full and to also be able to identify them
if/when we have issues with the LUD again. They have a signboard with
a countdown on it. Less than 80 days. Life changes, I know. But,
this is just sad to bust a hump to hurry out of an effective system -
and potentially jobs lost.

The task is done. I was wondering if there was a better method since v5r4.

Background: Had to create 40+ display devices. AUTO-config is OFF.
I stared adding the new dices to QVIRCD007. That got full, so I moved
to QVIRCD006. Then, since that controller would likely fill as well.
I created QVIRCD008. Idea came to me to move the new devices from
controller 6 and 7 to the new controller. At v5r4, there is no option
to change the controller in the device description. So, I renamed
them, then created a copy on controller 8, and deleted the renamed
devices.

Was there an easier way to do this? Does a more recent version of the
OS allow the CHGDEVD command to make that change? Was there a command
at v5r4 that would have allowed me to change the controller?

Strictly out of curiousity.
