Just cut a SLT using SYSGEN after you have revised the paths in the IO section. I would highly recommend that you do a full system backup just in case the unexpected bites you on the backside. In fact, you may be able to accomplish the path changes using a START NORECOVERY. ======================================================================= Tom Madigan | Phone......804.594.7180 Administrative System Manager | Christopher Newport University | Urgent.....804.594.7220 Computer Center | 50 Shoe Lane | Fax........804.594.7500 Newport News, VA 23606-2988 | USA | [log in to unmask] =======================================================================
