The dirm used shows:

OwnerUid VDev SYSAFFIN Type          Start       Size VOLSER Notes
DIRECTP  A30B *        3390-06           0       6679 VC6008 Excluded Entry

OwnerUid VDev SYSAFFIN Type          Start       Size VOLSER Notes
DIRECTP  A20C *        3390              0       1113 VC6009 Excluded Entry

The dirm free shows:

VOLUME   DEVTYPE  -------------- FREE EXTENTS ---------------
VC6008   3390-06  START=          1 AVAIL=       6678

VOLUME   DEVTYPE  -------------- FREE EXTENTS ---------------
VC6009   3390     START=          1 AVAIL=       1112

When I added these packs a long time ago, I issued the dirm rlde command.

While the models are artificial, I specify *DASDType Max-Size 3390-06 6679  in 
the default section of the extent file.
Are you saying that all of my mod-6 extent records should say

LX6008    VC6008    1              6677   3390-06
And my default should be 6678 ?

Subject: Re: dirmaint volume problem

I don't see a real problem for sure: VCONTROL files are for DIRMAINT's internal 
use.  What do you get with "DIRM USED volser" and "DIRM FREE volser".  And, if 
you changed the EXTENT CONTROL, did you issue DIRM RLDE?

And, these days a "3390 model" is something artificial, it is just used to 
define a DASD with some "well known" number of cylinders: n*1113.  And, for 
your case: a 3390 model 6 never existed as a real thing in the past (as opposed 
to model 1, 3 and 9)

Where I think I do see some problem is the end-cylinder.  CP responds it has 
6678 cylinders, that is from cylinder 0 through 6677.  When looking at the 
EXNENT CONTROL file entries, I think you tell DIRMAINT the last cylinder is 
6678.  An MDISK that would include this cylionder would not be LINKable.

I have volumes in the volume extent file which lists the type as 3390-6.

LX6008    VC6008    1              6678   3390-06

LX6009    VC6009    1              6678   3390-06

The VC6008 VCONTROL file shows:

DEVTYPE= 3390-06
MAXBLK= 6678
ARCH= CKD
EXCLD= 0 6678 DIRECTP A30B *

The VC6009 VCONTROL file shows:

DEVTYPE= 3390
MAXBLK=  1112
ARCH=  CKD
EXCLD= 0 1112 DIRECTP A20C *

I issued Q DASD xxx details and here is the output:

A30B  CUTYPE = 2107-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0C, VOLSER = VC6008, CYLS = 6678
      CACHE DETAILS:  CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY
           -SUBSYSTEM   Y    Y   Y   -    N       N
              -DEVICE   Y    -   -   Y    N       N
      DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 0B, DDC = --
      DUPLEX DETAILS: --
      CU DETAILS: SSID = A003, CUNUM = A300

A20C  CUTYPE = 2107-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0C, VOLSER = VC6009, CYLS = 6678
      CACHE DETAILS:  CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY
           -SUBSYSTEM   Y    Y   Y   -    N       N
              -DEVICE   Y    -   -   Y    N       N
      DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 0C, DDC = --
      DUPLEX DETAILS: --
      CU DETAILS: SSID = A002, CUNUM = A200

When I look thru the CPFMTXA allocate list it shows both correctly as mod-6. 
How do I get the VC6009 dasd to show correctly as a mod-6 and not a mod-1 ? Why 
does the vcontrol file show DEVTYPE= 3390 and not DEVTYPE= 3390-06 ?

Thanks.
