Dedicating an OSA to the Production System

If an OSA is offline and you want to dedicate it to the production system for its exclusive use, do the following:

1. Enter:

   vary online rdev
   attach rdev userid vdev

   where:

   rdev

   is the real device number of the OSA.

   userid

   is the user ID of the production system.

   vdev

   is the virtual device number that you want to assign to the OSA.

   Note: If rdev and vdev are the same, you may enter:

   attach rdev userid

2. At the production system's system console, enter any commands that the production operating system requires to use the device.
