Thank you,
However can I not use an existing CPOWNED volume, one of them is only 25% used and I would like to allocate the last 100 cylinders on that volume for TDSK...and do it without an IPL. I was hoping to do a CPFMTXA and modify the allocation of the above volume? ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kris Buelens Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2007 5:56 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Have no TDSK defined on our system, can I define it and use it without performing an IPL? TDISK can be defined as well, IF * you have a RESERVED slot in the CPOWNED list * and you have a free disk Attach the disk to yourself, ALLOCATE part of it as TDSK using ICKDSF, then DEFINE CPOWNED to add the volser to the list of CPOWNED devices in a free slot, at last: ATTACH rdev SYSTEM. If you want to have it after a IPL, update SYSTEM CONFIG. 2007/11/4, Marcy Cortes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Easier to use VDISK (and way faster). "cp define vfb-512 101 120000" (will give you about 100 3390 cyls at address 101) If you don't have it turned on from your system, from a class B id "cp set vdisk syslim inf" "cp set vdisk userlim 800000" (something like that - check the parameters and be sure you set it to what you want it to be ).

Sorry it's been awhile, our 5.2 system doesn't have any TDSK defined and I would like to define 100 cylinders as TDSK. I have a volume that I use for allocating mini disks, its approx. 75% empty and I want to allocate the last 100 cylinders as TDSK. Can this be done with an IPL? And to do allocate the space do I just invoke CPFMTXA, then ALLOCATE TDSK? Thanks -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
