Re: Lnxadmin overlap
Jake, I still use CPFMTXA to format an entire volume before using it the first time. That will prompt you for a 6 character label. You might choose something like LX5535. Once it is formatted, you will need to attach it to SYSTEM (att 5535 system). Then you can use it in the user directory entry, referencing it by label not rdev. For example: MDISK 0100 3390 0001 10016 *LX5535 *MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM MDISK 0100 3390 *10017 *9496 *LX5535 *MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM Hope this helps. -Mike On Tue, Oct 2, 2018 at 11:46 PM Jake Anderson wrote: > Hi Mike, > > When I do Q DA FREE I find a quite number of free volumes. > > For example 5535 Device is free.

Re: Lnxadmin overlap
Hi Mike, When I do Q DA FREE I find a quite number of free volumes. For example 5535 Device is free. How can I use this volume ? Is there a way to initialise and use it ? So that I can use as below USER LNXADMIN LNX4VM 256M 1G BG INCLUDE LNXDFLT OPTION LNKNOPAS MDISK 0100 3390 0001 10016 5535 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM MDISK 0100 3390 0001 9496 5535 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM Jake On Tue 2 Oct, 2018, 5:05 PM Michael MacIsaac, wrote: > Jake, > > Can you copy the output of DISKMAP showing the overlaps please? > > So you're probably using a volume that is already being used.

Jake, this is precisely why I recommend a directory manager such as DIRMAINT to my new clients. Yes, you have to learn to use it, and no, it's not free, but it's not that hard to learn and it prevents accidental minidisk overlaps. AND it will interface with your security manager (e.g. RACF) so that you don't have to do all that manually. Its payback is peace of mind and automation. If you are not running a security manager on z/VM, please contact me directly via e-mail (address below) so that we can chat.

Re: Lnxadmin overlap
Jake, Can you copy the output of DISKMAP showing the overlaps please? So you're probably using a volume that is already being used. DON'T USE THESE MINIDISKS on LNXADMIN. If you format them you will destroy other data. How many DASD volumes do you have free? (Q DA FREE). -Mike On Tue, Oct 2, 2018 at 8:51 AM Jake Anderson wrote: > Hi Mike > > It shows overlap for both 100 and 101. > > > > On Tue 2 Oct, 2018, 3:05 PM Michael MacIsaac, wrote: > > > Jake, > > > > There are some overlaps in the user directory IBM ships.

Jake, There are some overlaps in the user directory IBM ships. Are the overlaps with the LNXADMIN 100 or 101 disks? Please post them here.

Lnxadmin overlap
Hi I am using cookbook to build RHEL. I am trying to add LNXADMIN with mdisk 0100 and 0101 but when I do DISKMAP for the user file with All /gap/|/ overlap/ I get overlap. I Must confess that I am new to VM Could someone point me in what I must be missing ?
