Hi, Ashwin.
When you formatted and allocated the DASD volume from z/OS, did you
specify the CPVOL attribute? That tell ICKDSF to creaet a "dummy" z/OS
style VTOC in cylinder 0 so that to z/OS, the DASD looks full.
Also, it's a good idea not to make any of the DASD volumes that z/VM has
marked as 'cpowned' available to the z/OS side.

Hello all,
I was adding a 2nd page volume LEPG2A (3390-3) to one of our newly
installed z/VM 6.1 and I accidentally formatted cylinder 0 PERM. We
are now getting alerts about "IEC606I VTOC INDEX DISABLED ON
5815,LEPG2A,142,00000000". The new Page volume is working on z/VM.

All our DASD storage is managed from the MVS side and I am guessing
that it looks for the VTOC and alerts when it cannot find one. Can I
use ICKDSF to put a valid VTOC back on the DASD? Are there any
pointers on this subject that I can use to get more information on?
Does Device Support facility's user guide all the information that I
need to do the above.
Thank you, Ashwin Bhemidhi Texas Instruments Inc.
