Switching independent disk pool between different releases

Once an independent disk pool is made available on a server, it cannot be made available to another server that is running on a previous version of OS/400®. However, it is possible to switch a previous release independent disk pool to a server running the current version of OS/400 and make it available. After it is made available on the server running the current version of OS/400, its internal contents are changed and it cannot be made available to the previous release server again.

Attention: If a current release disk pool is switched to a V5R1 release server, its disk units show up as nonconfigured on the previous release server. If these disk units are added to another disk pool, the independent disk pool is destroyed.
