Let us know if IBM has a new solution. I'm doing VM5.3 too and will hit CMSBAM build problem again at some point.

A few more details. I defined vstor at 256m. We installed to mdisk, not SFS. I have backups of the old SDF files and can restore if necessary. We are running 5.1 and are trying to get to 5.3 since 5.1 is unsupported. I'll open a PMR with that information and provide the console listings.

Any help on what > I might try or what I might be doing wrong would be appreciated. Larry, please open a PMR so that we can look at your problem in more detail. This usually shows up when you've installed into SFS - the memory occupied by file descriptors (FSTs) in the accessed directories is bumping into the memory used by CMSBAM. A possible workaround: Immediately after IPL CMS and ACC (NOPROF, try SEGMENT RESERVE CMSBAM. Then, right before you issue the VMFBLD for the segment, issue SEGMENT RELEASE CMSBAM. And add the NOSETUP option to VMFBLD. E.g. segment release cmsbam Ready; vmfbld list segbld esasegs dosbam blddata (all nosetup No guarantees, but worth a try.
