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.
