RE: Load Source Migration

We are running V5R3 and it did not let me *ENDALC on the load source.
But that may be do to the fact I am very tight on room. There may not
be enough free space to move all the data from 8 drives. So I have 7
*ENDALC and started the *MOVDTA already. More to follow tomorrow Night,
late.

Hi Chris

I'd allow an hour or so for the migrate, but it will probably take less
than that - depends on the controller more than anything else in my
experience.

You can *ENDALC on the load source drive - from what I understand you'll
end up with just the LIC on there. I had an IBM engineer tell me this
was OK.

As to the Load source migration, will you physically relocate the drive
after it is migrated ? If not, is the position of the disk you are
migrating to a valid Load Source position ? I've had the Load Source
position bite me at least once on a 520 migration.

Hope this helps. It always pays to have a good book handy when working
with disks.
