 Dear mainframe grey heads and not only,
 

 Lately I have become very interested in studying IMS. I understood over a period of time that there might be a serious skill gap and I thought to myself, why not. For the last 5 years I am working as a CICS MQ administrator, which is great and has given me a lot of opportunity to learn from old experienced fellas, things which my generation hasn't had the chance to do so. 
 So I took out a book, printed and started reading ( IMS primer ) . Dusted off the old external hard drive, and here we go trying to IPL ( so I can play with IMS as in our shop there isn't none ). Fail. 
 With loadparm in the format xxxxCSM1(or AWM1 or simply AW etc ) where xxxx is the unit allocated to SDSYS1 volume. Fail. Disabled wait state 31. Archmode is set to z/Arch. A google search has revealed that 0031 means a problem with IODF or wrong sys residence volume. The IPL is being done from SDRES1 member.
 All disks are attached without problem ( no CCKD error ). I cannot even IPL from SARES1 ( same RC ) . 
 In the last few days, I have spent hours trying different combinations of arch mode, different herc releases, different load parts. I am a little helpless at this point.
 A colleague suggested that the sdsys1 file might be corrupted. In this case, why does it get attached without a problem ( as I had it stored on google drive before downloading to external disk ). 
 Please, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
 Attached the conf file.
