Re: Another iASP question

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All iASPs have names - they are devices.

RSTASP is a number - those 1st 32, as I recall - someone will have the 
right number if I'm off.

IASPs are the place named in RSTASPDEV - the name is also at the first 
level off of the root of IFS. So if it IASP01 as the device name, you 
will see /IASP01 in WRKLNK '/'

There will be a QSYS.LIB inside that directory, too - and in there is 
where the library will get restored to - AND it cannot exist there and 
in *SYSBAS at the same time - meaning when the IASP device is varied on.

There're manuals about IASPs that you probably need to get really 
familiar with - you don't NEED a system with an IASP,  but it's not that 
hard to set up, either - just take 1 arm out of whatever your DASD is, 
then use that as the disk for an IASP.

Good luck!
