I am experiencing a strange problem with my zVM 5.1 res volumes. The zVM 5.1 res volume is on a 3390 mod 3 pack. This volume should be 3339 cylinders. It is on DASD carved from a DS6800 as 3339 cylinders.
When I attach this volume and access it, I get the following: LABEL VDEV M STAT CYL TYPE BLKSZ FILES BLKS USED-(%) BLKS LEFT BLK TOTAL 510RES 001 Z R/W 3340 3390 OS I have tried the following: DDR to a new volume CPFMTXA FORMAT cylinder 0 CPFMTXA ALLOCATE system areas DRCT 1-20 PARM 21-38 PARM 39-128 PARM 129-188 SALIPL for the IPL data When this new volume (same name) is IPLed it says the directory is invalid... Any ideas as to what I should try next to get the res volume to see itself as a 3339 cylinder volume? Thank you. Cecelia Dusha
