When I did an IND USER on him, it did say 1TB - must have taken him lower at logon time. It happily let me put 1500GB in the directory.

I have to ask. How did you manage to define a virtual machine whose size was 1500G? There's a machine-dependent limit on the maximum virtual storage size (256GB for a z990, 1TB for a z9), so are you sure you successfully defined 1500G? Or did CP enforce the maximum supported for your machine? (Or maybe there's some way I'm not aware of to bypass this limit.) Of course, even if CP did constrain you to the maximum supported, you'd still be in trouble! I'm just curious concerning the actual numbers quoted. Ray Mansell P.s. "Constrained to 1TB" is really a sign of the times. My very first virtual machine, several decades ago, was 320KB!!
