We have 4 different non-sysplex LPARs all maintained by a sand box LPAR. We install on the sand box LPAR and then copy volumes and files to the other systems to roll out the maintenance. I recently installed a serverpac and decided to make the /etc and /var filesystems SYS1 residing on the SYSRES. In this way, whenever IBM updates these directories with maintenance it will automatically be implemented on the other systems with the SYSRES volume copy. My concern is that any changes to these directories will be lost as new SYSRES copies are rolled out. So far looking at what is on these directories it is either static or updated all the time (like a pid number).
My question is how do you handle these file systems in your shop. Note: Sharing them is not an option, so if you share these directories across LPARs please do not respond. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
