Well, the reason I'm doing it is because the 510RES has very little space left. I almost couldn't get the maintenance to fit on the 500 disk and I didn't have many cylinders left vacant. Since, on our previous release of z/vm which was v4r3, we had a 430RES and a 430W01 and they were both CP OWNED, I figured that was the way to go.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/30/2006 4:07 PM >>> If it's all perm space as you suggest you could just put it as User_Volume_List 510W01 in system config it should not be defined as cp_owned, just a user_volume. Try using Cpfmtxa (help to see the usage). Page, spool, tdisk, parm, for cp_owned, slotted, everything else can be user volumes.
