Re: CP Owned Volume Question
The fact that it is ³CP OWNED² and not ³CP SYSTEM² would lead me to wonder about your statement ³Being that the volume is already labeled should I assume that it has allocated to lets say PERM?². I wouldn¹t make such an assumption, especially if someone took the trouble to put it in the CP Owned list. Get a read-only link to the volume and run ICKDSF to get a list of the allocation map of the device.

Re: CP Owned Volume Question
Some extra remarks 1. To be precise: the "1" means there is one active minidisk on that pack. If "2" would be shown, it could be 2 different minidisks or two users linked to the same minidisk (or even 1 user with 2 links to a single minidisk. 2. "CP Q SYSTEM addr" will tell you which minidisks are active. Example (shortened): *q system 400* DASD 0400 ATTACHED CPVOL 0077 530RES MAINT05C2 R/W , MAINT05A6 R/W MAINT05A2 R/W , MAINT04C4 R/W VMSERVS 0190 R/O , VMSERVU 0190 R/O DTCVSW1 0190 R/O , DTCVSW2 0190 R/O 3. As can be seen: there are many 190 minidisks here. Because of the address, we can assume it is a LINK to MAINT 190. To know that for sure: *CP Q MDISK USER VMSERVU 190* 4. A disk with only user minidisks does not need to be CPOWNED, only disks on which CP has some areas need to be. That is: disks with PAGE,SPOOL, DRCT, or TDISK. On CPOWNED disks, CP will read the allocation map, on other disks it is ignored by CP. To see if CP has some areas on a disk: - *CP Q ALLOC volser*: reveals what CP has obtained from the allocation map. CP reads it only at the time that the disk is getting ATTACHED to SYSTEM (e.g. during IPL) - *CPFMTXA vdev volser Alloc*: displays the current allocation map and allows to change it Before you can use CPFMTXA, you must get access to the disk, in "fullpack mode" - *CP ATTACH rdev vdev **: but then you need to be the exclusive user - *CP DEFINE MDISK vdev 0 END volser** *(need good priviledges) - *CP LINK xxx vdev myvdev MW|RR*: if the pack is defined as fullpack minidisk in the CP directory. P.S. As opposed to what has been suggested: there is no need at all to DETACH a disk from SYSTEM before updating the CP directory. The CP directory defines which users and minidisks are available; either linked as part of a user's LOGON, either linked by an explicit LINK command later on. For a minidisk to be linkable, the pack on which it is defined must be ATTACHed to SYSTEM, either thanks to SYSTEM CONFIG entries, either later on with a CP ATTACH to SYSTEM. 2008/7/9 Howard Rifkind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks folks. > > The directory showed that the disk is allocated 100% to one user id.

Re: CP Owned Volume Question
Thanks folks. The directory showed that the disk is allocated 100% to one user id. I'll have to find out if that user id really needs a whole 3390/9.

Re: CP Owned Volume Question
Howard, First you have to find who has the current link to this volume. If it belongs to MAINT, then you can detach the virtual device number for this volume that is in use by MAINT. Once the query command shows that there are no users currently linked to this volume, then you can do the following: 1)detach 499 system 2)update your directory as needed for the additional mini disks on this volume 3)attach 499 system 4)directxa user - bring your updated directory online 5)either logoff and logon Maint to allocate the new mini disks to your virtual machine - or - use the LINK command to gain access to your new mini disks.
