How to downgrade from an E (extended) format to a D (extended) format CDS
VTCS
HSC
Extended format CDSs (C, D or E format) only pertain to customers running a virtual environment. This process is only required in a virtual environment running VTCS. In an HSC-only environment (without VTCS), this process is not required.

Steps to Follow
1. Apply VTCS 6.0 compatibility PTFs to VTCS 5.0 or 5.1.
2. Run the VTCS 6.0 DECOM Utility to list the current VSM configuration. Attention: The DECOM of an E format CDS contains a CDSLEVEL(V6ABOVE) in the configuration, which must be removed prior to using in step 4.

3. Create a new CDS using HSC SLICREAT under HSC 5.0 or 5.1, using the highest available version.

4. Run a VTCS CONFIG RESET under VTCS 6.0, using the configuration from the DECOM in step 2 with CDSLEVEL(V6ABOVE) removed as input. HSC must be down on all hosts when VTCS CONFIG RESET is run.

5. Run HSC MERGEcds under HSC 6.0 to convert and copy the existing E format CDS to the new D format CDS. Attention: HSC must be at Base Service Level when running MERGEcds.
