I am refining our DR procedures. After I restore the DFHSM CDSs from the most recent back-up, I need to update so as to not overwrite that back-up with the next occurrence of CDS backup. The fine manual says to use FIXCDS S MHCR PATCH(X'B1' nnnnnnn) to set the next back-up number. FIXCDS requires an active DFHSM. Is there a supported way to make this update BEFORE starting DFHSM on the recovered system?
I have thought of running DFHSM itself with a specifically tailored parm to come up, FIXCDS, and stop, but this seems overkill. I can also do it "manually" during the steps documented for first IPL of recovered system, but this is more prone to error or omission. S DFHSM is in my COMMNDxx parmlib member.
