Kludge yes, one pack; no. Because of striping we would need at least
thirteen differently sized template minidisks. Unless we could format
just one very large minidisk and image copy as little as needed. I
believe CMS gets just a little bent out of shape if one did this. Would
not z/Linux too?

Kludgy workaround ...
Can you "correctly" format one "template" pack ... then use
HiDRO DUPLICATE (or DDR) to clone the pack with the end result being
that the packs are pre-formatted for the z/Linux guests?

Subject: Formatter forz/Linux Minidisk from CMS
Does anyone have or know of a utility that will z/Linux
format a minidisk from CMS?
We have a requirement to format many minidisks for
z/Linux usage. Many z/Linux routines flood the console if we just give
the guests unformatted minidisks. We have been CMS formatting them
before sending them to the z/Linux guests, where it might be days before
the owners z/Linux format them. I would like to be able to z/Linux
format the minidisks from CMS before giving the disks to the guests.
