Just off on a tangent here, and really no dig this time James, but are you
running preV5 software on that? If so, then WRKLICINF shouldn't be such a
concern and if your vendor software (if any) doesn't care about serial
number, then why not just get a different 40S ready to go? Just a WAG but
isn't the shipping probably where the bulk of your expense is going to
come in? If it gets to the point where you need to bring in IBM at
$250/hour it might pay you to pursue that avenue.
Hmm. It's at V4R2. Would it be possible to stuff our existing drives
into a used 40S? (The last complete backup was at the top of the year,
and the last SAVCHGOBJ was at the end of January; there's a small
handful of changes made since then, that wouldn't be all that difficult
to recreate.
The only software on it are PDM/SEU/SDA, compilers for RPG (both ILE and
OPM), CL, and ILE C, and stuff we developed ourselves (including my own
front-end for the MI compilation API). The "processor" side has 2619 and
2621 books in it (neither of which is in use); the "expansion" side has
an I/O processor and 3 inert 264A books that are as empty as the space
between my ears.
At this point, its raison d'etre is to provide a box that's completely
isolated from the outside world (the only ways in or out are Twinax and
QIC tape), on which to store and work on "the family jewels" (i.e., the
MI source for QuestView, and the MI source for anything that has
anything to do with our authorization code system.
How much does a used, but guaranteed-operational, 40S go for, these days?
Another thought: Is there any way I could, say, kill mirroring, and move
one of the pair from the expansion side over to the processor side?
