Re: Partition Collapse

Jack,

My interpretation of the OP is that he has an 8xx with the primary
partition and two secondary partitions. The primary was probably the pre
power 5 concept of the hosting partition with no applications and only
hosted the application partitions. I am also taking that one of the
secondary partitions is expendable. So he's going to scratch the box and
just have one partition (the one that used to be one of the secondary
partitions).

Is the master console setups going to be the same then on both boxes once
complete. The box your restoring to is there anything currently on it.

2 - IP is no problem, what may be a problem are your line descriptions.
Just verify the resource names with WRKHDWRSC *CMN. Do that now before
the restore to know you have the right resource after the restore,
especially if you have multiple lan adapters, etc.

3 - If you're familiar with BRMS then follow their quite detailed
instructions for the restore. I am not. I would use a GO SAVE 21 (and
some would say twice to ensure that the tape is not bad) and restore

from

that.

I am going to perform a partition collapse on a 820 Box in which i have

to

delete the 2 secondary partitions and restore one of the secondary
partitions on primary making it a stand alone box.

The plan is to delete the partitions then IPL the primary once .

Allocate

all the resources to primary . From SST remove the configuration data of
old
load source disks.
Also i have to move the Alternate IPL device from System Bus 23 to

System

Bus 1 ( with the help of CE ) . Then proceed the LIC recovery and OS

from

secondary FULLSAV media

I had a prior experience of restoring a partition but never done
restoration
of secondary on primary.So there were few questions popping in my mind

1. Will i get the console (OPS Console Direct Connect) back as i am
restoring the secondary partition.
2. Will my IP configurations will stay ( as resources which were
configured
on secondary for line description are now all belong to single box ) ,
3. Which Full System Save recovery process will be better - BRMS or GO
SAVE
21.

Any thing else i should be worried about ?
