I think recreating the storage space would probably have been quicker, at
least that what my experience has been (though I do not have any actual
numbers to quantify this).

The only reason I can think of why this might be is that the CRTNWSSTG runs
on the host system and accesses the disk directly whereas the disk
initialization is going through a layer of virtualization.

I also think the CRTNWSSTG has less performance impact on the disks which
is useful if there is any workload running in the hosted LPAR.

Paul,

I found the issue.
At the point of the restore, DST password is default, which is QSECOFR.
I was keying in the actual DST password.

But, I had to shutdown, no command access to issue the CHGDSTPWD
PASSWORD(*DEFAULT).
Live and learn.
And I had to initialize the load source, AGAIN, for a second time,

another

3 1/2 hours.

Paul--

You should be able to reset the DST password without a complete shutdown.

As QSECOFR: (You must be QSECOFR, not a QSECOFR-look-alike)
CHGDSTPWD PASSWORD(*DEFAULT)

This should put it back to QSECOFR (or is it qsecofr? I forget)

When trying to enter DST, DST password became disabled.
Had to shutdown to reset DST password.
