Some of the steps suggested probably involve an IPL - this complicates things - the scope of a command does not cross IPLs - would need persistent storage of the various settings as well as automated PTF processing - not sure that is possible, or at least easy.

That's true. But since IBM has so many brilliant people, I assumed they could do it.

Are there IPL exit points? Or use autostart job entries in subsystems, but the latter gets nasty and messy. Or you could set up exit point-like stuff in your startup program.

I've not even been able to create more than one virtual optical device - in order to mount more than one image catalog. Anyone tried that successfully?

I was able to create OPTVRT02 by copying OPTVRT01, but was unable to vary it on. I am assuming that if I varied off OPTVRT01, then I could vary on OPTVRT02. So I guess it's only one at a time.

Sounds familiar - something about a resource already in use. Can there be more than one virtual optical "hardware" resource?

It really was a help in installing V5R2. Hopefully, this is not the full extent of image catalog stuff. Perhaps this is only an infancy with enhancements to come.

I'm with you here. I really like using them for PTFs, CUMEs, etc. Perhaps even for distributing our own product fixes.
