Geez, I never got to that point. My head is spinning!

Now you got me wondering, does the OP still wants the volser offline during and 
AFTER the IPL or not? With IODF or with a COMMNDxx or IEACMDxx or just type it 
in on a console?

Sorry, Tom, with my utmost respect to you, for production systems, I agree to 
disagree. No disrespect to you, please.

For sandboxes, here I agree with you. In fact this is what one of my colleagues 
did during a botched upgrade on a sandbox. "they" forgot to include a new 
Linklist on a sandbox, but cannot IPL because tests on a system were still 
going on and time was running out...

As previously said, if you try out those commands, you had better be ready to 
IPL... 


>However, they must be used properly.

Tom, here I agree 100% with you. For that, I'm behind to you. At least I'm not 
alone!

Thanks Tom for your nice comments!
