Adding the LDEVs in SYSGEN is probably the tedious part that Larry was
trying to avoid or automate. Depending on his very setup, he might need
to extract the LDEV and CLASS information from the existing system, for
example by using the "ldev id=hptcpjd" command (SYSGEN or IOCONFIG) and
then "massage" the output to create appropriate "adev ..." commands for
the new system.

Maybe something in the line of the following awk script ;-)

/^ LDEV:/ { ldev=$2 }

/^CLASS:/ {
   printf("adev ldev=%s path=none id=hptcpjd class=",ldev);
   if (NF>=2) {printf("%s", $2)};
   for(k=3; k<=NF; k++) {printf(",%s",$k)};
   printf("\n");
}

# use at your own risk
