Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of the OFFSEC operand of the HYPERSWAP * * SWAP command. Particularly GDPS xDR with * * Multi-Target PPRC. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** The current implementation of the OFFSEC operand simply marks the specified devices offline in the RDEV. This leaves the paths grouped for the device which in turn can cause problems in re-establishing PPRC mirroring in multi-target PPRC environments. In those cases, the devices would have to be manually varied offline to allow the mirroring to be started again.
