Major Changes in Procedures
The following items describe significant differences in configuration
management between MPE XL and MPE V/E.
* System configuration is not supported during the system initiation
stage, as it was with the MPE V/E SYSDUMP utility.
* MPE XL provides for multiple configuration groups, allowing them
to reside concurrently on disk and tape.
* System configuration is accomplished through an interactive,
command-driven, user interface.
* MPE XL uses I/O path specifications based on the actual physical
location (hardware address) of the channel and device adapter,
along with the I/O device address.
* System Volumes (other than the one mounted on ldev 1) and all
nonsystem volumes (formerly known as private volumes) are added to
the system with the VOLUTIL utility, rather than with SYSGEN.
