I guess that 510W01 was never formatted with CPVOL. Because, CPVOL is supposed to not only create CP's allocation bytemap, but also a VTOC telling z/OS (& co) that the disk is full. So,
1. Assure you have no minidisk on 510W01 starting in cylinder 0 (you can ignore the minidisk of user $ALLOC$) 2. Run ICKDSF, press enter twice (to indicate CONSOLE as in- and output 1. Link to a FULLPACK overlay on 510W01, or use DEFINE MDISK: cp define mdisk 1234 0 end 510W01 2. Verify that there is no CP area on the disk (it should not, otherwise CPVOL would have created a dummy VTOC, but you wouldn't like to loose a CP area). Run cpvol list unit(1234) verify(510W01) I expect it will tell: ICK33001I 510W01 CYLINDER ZERO NOT IN CP FORMAT. If it would -unexpectedly- list CP areas (SPOL, PAGE, DRCT, TEMP, ... stop here. 3. Format cylinder 0: cpvol format unit(1234) verify(510W01) range(0,0) ) volid(510W01) 4. END 3. DETACH 1234 2007/9/23, Anne D. Crabtree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Converted to z/vm 5.3 recently.
