No cold start required as long as no volume containing SPOL allocations was moved to a different slot.
In my SHARE session "z/VM Installation - It's Installed, NOW What?" I stongly suggest that all SPOOL volumes be placed in the first few slots, the next slots be RESERVED (maybe a total of 10?) For SPOOL (slots are cheap), and comments provide clear reminders not to change the slot numbers. I suggest that SPOOL volumes be named so that there is no doubt that they contain SPOL allocations (e.g. VMSP01, VMSP02, etc), and at the top so that they don't' get sorted to a lower place in the future, and the slot numbers changed in a fit of housecleaning.

One last question, you say it is ok to move the slots around as long as it is not the SPOOL volume. I did move the two work packs 530W01 and 530W02 to different slots, is it ok to do this with these volumes. I also assume that since the SLOTS are changing included marking some of the ones as RESERVED I will need to do a COLD start IPL?

You could have re-used SLOT numbers of PAGE volumes that were not in use when adding the new PAGE volume. 2008/7/26 Martin, Terry R.
