RE: Restoring to a new LPAR: QUSRSYS QGPL

Whether you can restore your system from the Option/21 tape or not, you at least have a copy that you -could- restore from, given the proper hardware. Much better than saying, "Yeah, I -think- we have a backup of that..." (:

Tried the Opt 21 .. intended to create from tape ... every permutation of
restoring from that failed with the tape library we bought.
Just did the *CUMPKG PTF group.
I've backed up QUSRSYS and QGPL and am restoring starting with *ALLUSR.

Option/21 save first! Then you can make as many 7.1 'clean' LPARs as you
want! Shouldn't take long, since there's no user data cluttering things up!

Did you install all of the Group PTFs as well? Hiper? Etc.?

Loading *NONSYS shouldn't touch the IBM stuff.

Oh, the tangled webs we weave.

1. Created new 7.1 LPAR
2. PTF'ed it to last *CUMPKG
3. Now want to do RSTLIB *NONSYS

Am I going to mess up the new LPAR if the LPAR I'm restoring from was
backlevel on PTFs?

I think I know the answer to this ...
