Handling rotated partitions

While an BMC AMI Copy command using physical data set numbers is not affected by a partition rotation, a partition rotation might cause an BMC AMI Copy command using logical partition numbers to fail.

Copying-physical-partitions and Copying-logical-partitions describe how the COPY command handles copies of rotated partitions.

(For more about how 

BMC AMI Copy

 works with logical partitions, see Working-with-physical-and-logical-partitions).

The COPY IMAGECOPY command duplicates an image copy registered at a particular point and ignores any ALTER...PARTITION ROTATE that occurred since that point.

The TEMPLATE command does not support logical partition numbers. Requirements specified for copy commands defined with physical partition numbers apply to a COPY command generated from the TEMPLATE command.

The QUIESCE command requires the specification of physical partition numbers.

The MODIFY command is not supported with logical partition numbers. Any ALTER...ROTATE PARTITION that occurs before or during the execution of a MODIFY command will be ignored by the command.
