Maint 500 is still just a user mdisk, whether it be Maint or Ralph. Your only cp related mdisks are the trio of CF1,2,3, used as parm disks.

I do have reserved slots which follow the ones that are cpowned. I was just going to change the 7th (which is RESERVED) to 510W01... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/30/2006 4:24 PM >>> As mentioned, there i sno need to make a volume CPOWNED when it does not contain space for CP use. And, you only need to format the area's CP will use with ICKDSF: cylinder ranges you later devote the CMS minidisks will be formatted by the CMS FORMAT command later on, so CPVOL format UNIT(1748) RANGE(0000,0000) TYPE(PERM,0000,3338) VFY(510W01) can save quite some formatting time. If the slots displayed below truely reflect the contents of your SYSTEM CONFIG, I'd suggest to add some RESERVED slots. Then you can define extra CP owned volumes without IPL Kris, IBM Belgium, VM customer support The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> wrote on 2006-11-30 21:59:33: > I need to add a 510W01 volume to z/vm as PERM space and I already > have the following defined in SYSTEM CONFIG: > CP_Owned Slot 1 510RES > CP_Owned Slot 2 510SPL > CP_Owned Slot 3 510PAG > CP_Owned Slot 4 510PG1 > CP_Owned Slot 5 510PG2 > CP_Owned Slot 6 510PG3 > Any problem with just adding it as Slot 7? > Was planning on do this under MAINT on the fly: > CPVOL FMT UNIT(1748) RANGE(0000,3338) TYPE(PERM,0000,3338) VFY(510W01) > DEFINE CPOWNED SLOT 7 510W01 > ATT 1748 MAINT > CPVOL ALLOC UNIT(1748) RANGE(0000,3338) TYPE(PERM,0000,3338) VFY(510W01) > DET 1748 MAINT > ATT 1748 SYSTEM > Just want to make sure this scenario will work and not hurt anything...
