Yea, I never have figured out why DASD folks love doing volume restores only to reformat the volume. I guess it might be easier that trying to keep track of all those allocation jobs.
My experience with six 3390-3 volumes is just a couple of minutes to cold start. JES runs much faster right after a cold start which tends to make up any time formatting. Also, none of those scary error messages from JES. HTH and good luck! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chicklon, Tom Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 8:14 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: JES2 at DR I think you are going to need someone who restores their spool volumes at DR to answer this one. We just INIT the volumes and allocate the spool space from the DR floor system while the other restore jobs are running; we don't restore the spool volumes.
