With all the information I have been given, I am still unsure I know how to fix this. Here is some more information: Today when I logged on to MAINT, I noticed I got error message HCPLNM103E DASD 123 forced R/O; R/W by 48 R/o by 97 users Stable by 3
MAINT has MDISK 0123 3390 000 10016 540RES MR I DID save copies of what I changed. First of all, here is what was liste d on the DIRM DIRMAP report I was concerned about: on 540RES (a 3390 MOD9): 3390 $ALLOC$ 0A01 * 0 0 1 Overlap MAINT 0123 * 0 1112 1113 Overlap SYSDUMP1 0123 * 0 1112 1113 Overlap .DRCT. 30E5 * 1 20 20 Overlap (30E5 being the real volume) $DIRECT$ 0A04 * 1 20 20 : : I was concerned about the overlaps, and also that the sizes for MAINT and SYSDUMP1 0123 was not really the full volume. Same true for $PAGE$, $SPOOL$ and MAINT 0122 (Spool) - they were overlaps, but also did not match the volume size. I did not change $ALLOC$ as I had been taught about that in the one class I have taken. Changed MAINT 0122, 0123 and 0124 MDISK statements in MAINT DIRECT to hav e a hard coded 10016 coded instead of END, and also modified $PAGE$, $SPOOL $ as I did not think these were correct as showing END of 1112 in the repor t. 540RES after on the DIRM DIRMAP looks like: 3390 $ALLOC$ 0A01 * 0 0 1 Overlap MAINT 0123 * 0 10115 10116 SYSDUMP1 0123 * 0 10115 10116 .DRCT. 30E5 * 1 20 20 Overlap (30E5 being the real volume) $DIRECT$ 0A04 * 1 20 20 Also the Overlaps were gone for $PAGE$, $SPOOL$, and MAINT 0122. I noticed that .DRCT. still had Overlap, but it worked before, so I was not concerned. I DO have in EXTENT CONTROL: :EXCLUDE. * USERID ADDRESS MAINT 012* SYSDUMP1 012* :END. (added per Getting Started with Linux on System Z) With those details, what is suggested to get things back in order? I now assume that having the smaller definitions for $xx$ and MAINT 012x MDISKS is the way it SHOULD be and I should not have messed with that? Thanks for trying to help a confused newbie.
