Hi Everyone,
We just migrated to a new disk array; migration went smoothly and
yesterday I removed the old disk from my gen. I noticed when I was in there
that I had neglected to specify LOCANY=YES on the new disk. Not a huge deal
but one job did fail with an 822 so I want to clean it up before the
weekend.
So I created a new IODF changing all the new disk to LOCANY=YES, but
when I tried to test the activation I got the following messages for each
and every new disk device that I had just changed:

0090  IOS500I ACTIVATE RESULTS 878
0090  TEST DETECTED CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN ACTIVATE FAILURE
0090  NOTE = 0100,SOFTWARE-ONLY CHANGE
0090   COMPID=SC1C3
0090  REASON=0152,CAN NOT DELETE DEVICE 7000
0090   DESCTEXT=DEVICE ONLINE
0090   COMPID=SC1C3
0090  REASON=0152,CAN NOT DELETE DEVICE 7001
0090   DESCTEXT=DEVICE ONLINE
0090   COMPID=SC1C3
0090  REASON=0152,CAN NOT DELETE DEVICE 7002
0090   DESCTEXT=DEVICE ONLINE
0090   COMPID=SC1C3
0090  REASON=0152,CAN NOT DELETE DEVICE 7003
0090   DESCTEXT=DEVICE ONLINE

I've checked and re-checked and the devices are in the IODF. The only
difference is the LOCANY=YES.
Does anyone have any ideas what I've missed?
Thanks very much,
Joanne Nicolazzo


I also did an HCD compare and verified that the LOCANY=YES from LOCANY=NO
was the only difference between the two IODF's.


Were they defined as DYNAMIC?

No I wasn't trying to delete the devices. I was only trying to change them from 
LOCANY=NO to LOCANY=YES.
I deleted the old devices. So what if I do an IPL? Or do I at this point have 
to do a POR?


Joanne,

You should not have to POR or IPL to modify LOCANY. Were the devices defined as DYNAMIC YES? If so, then you should open a PMR with IBM. If not, then you'll need to IPL each LPAR with a new IODF to enable DYNAMIC.
