Re: Upgrading Load Source Disk

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan you might mean SAVSTG not SAVSYS. A SAVSYS does not care what disk 
configuration it's going into it's going to initialize the drives 
anyway. I'm not sure unless all the devices are exact ( including CPU, 
Memory, I/O Adapters, chassis, etc) that a SAVSTG would work in this 
case anyway. Besides, it's just as fast to do a full system save nowadays.
