Re: IOCONFIG question.
Ah 2 cents/euros/pounds (although God only knows if that actually works
anymore given the financial crisis the world seems to have found its self
in, I have found, and I might be on my own here, but on a number of my
customers machines, that whereas additions and frequently changes are fine
with a doionow, a deletion never seems to work and does require a reboot to
sort out the config. Could be the patch level of the machine, but still its
worth noting.
Its Friday and a bottle of wine cries out like a System Abort for attention.
So a happy weekend from this side of the pond :-)

One clarification came to my mind when re-reading above sentence:
While the SLT is not needed to activate the IOCONFIG changes,
creating an updated SLT after config changes is a good idea from
the backup point-of-view, of course.

Hmmm. It's a long time ago since I used IOCONFIG myself, but
I seem to vaguely recall that some type for delete operations
in IOCONFIG did not work or were not yet implemented, while
others did work ok.
I *believe* it was something like adding a tape worked, but
deleting a tape did not. For network printers adding as well
as deleting worked, but only if you stopped the spooler for
the respective LDEV so that the device was not accessed any
more when IOCONFIG attempted to remove it.
As I said, it is from memory, so I may recall incorrectly.
Have a nice weekend. Lars.
