As suggested before, I would put in the unit parm and when that works, figure out what gave you the wrong one, eg tso, allocxx parmlib member, doesn't look like sms,etc

Under Option M - Modify System Layout, primary command SUMP or Option V (Summary of Physical Volumes), verify the Device Type of the volume in question. Good luck.

I am wondering if any of you have experienced this? I tried searching the archives but did not find anything helpful. My error occurrs in the ALCZFS step which allocates the ZFS file system using the TSO ALLOC parm. The result is as follows: READY ALLOC DSNAME('ZOS17.OMVS.VAR') RECORG(LS) TRACKS SPACE(528,53) BLKSIZE(4096) VOLUME(UPPZ FS) CATALOG IKJ56221I DATA SET ZOS17.OMVS.VAR NOT ALLOCATED, VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE+ IKJ56221I VOLUME UPPZFS CURRENTLY MOUNTED ON AN INELIGIBLE DEVICE READY END It seems to be device related as it will allocate to a syssq volume. I have another lpar on which It will allocate to any volume. I have the specific volumes added to my vatlst just like my syssq volumes, UPPZFS,0,0,3390 ,Y . The device is a 3390 - mod 9. I have tried allocating to a mod 3 device with the same results. Any help is appreciated. TIA Randy Harris Sr. Systems Programmer / DBA Lane Furniture Industries, Inc.
