We elected to do the Initial Full System Save of the host partition before
we created all the storage spaces. In the past I have found restoring a
system with a number of large storage spaces it took
FOOOORRRREEEEVVVVEEEERRRR and then some compared to the save time. We
needed to get at least a shell of each partition up.

I don't have the times handy, but copying a 128GB storage space was faster
than Installing LIC, The OS and PTFs.

First, have you saved your host LPAR on to tape(s)?? If you have and you
can import your sysplan I would image you could 01D ipl off that saved
tape, eventually you would have all the slave NWS/NWSSTG's and you would be
good to go??

Excellent, I love finding partners that actually know about the proper

I hear the fat finger argument, my fingers are at least a two keys

Thanks Jim,
The BP ( me and my very good sales rep ) did specify the feature codes,
sysplan and rack layout to have the system built correctly andx double
checked on the order. IBM did at least build the HW in the rack
correctly...

Host plus 5 guest really isn't too bad. Just some need to make the 2
system
as close as I can want ed to keep the fat fingering to a minimum:)

In order to get IBM to follow the system plan they are furnished,
the
order has to have the correct feature codes on it. Since very few
partners even know they can do that it is doubtful that feature
code
was
on the order. Furthermore the system has to be a brand new system,
not
an MES upgrade (even if the hardware is completely replaced), so
I'm
not
surprised the hardware layout was not to your specifications.

Since the LPAR configuration is really stored on the FSP, your best
bet
is to export the system plan and then import it, but 6 LPARs does
not
seem like that many to create manually. Two hours should do it and
I'll
be faster in the long run by the time you get done setting up all
the
virtualization anyway.
