Re: Upgrading Load Source Disk

Dan you might mean SAVSTG not SAVSYS. A SAVSYS does not care what disk configuration it's going into it's going to initialize the drives anyway. I'm not sure unless all the devices are exact ( including CPU, Memory, I/O Adapters, chassis, etc) that a SAVSTG would work in this case anyway. Besides, it's just as fast to do a full system save nowadays.

I suppose if the disk configurations were the same, you could IPL from the same SAVSYS tape on either machine. Or is that necessary?
