Willie, John has you looking in the right places. I would first find out what the allocation request was. Was it something 'wrong' like 4000 Cylinders? z/OS 1.6 gives the KB of the request. Did the volumes enabled have the space available? Suspect not if you are allocating into the overflow pool.

Dennis, You will notice the same problem with HFS or zFS. The response I always get from the list is that IBM has a product, (not a great answer considering zFS and HFS are base components). It would seem prudent for IBM to include the lacking function in the base z/OS or DFSMS. They DO NOT,

Allocation request for a DB2 dump wants more than a MOD-3

When a DB2 ASID requests a dump, the initial allocation request is larger than a MOD-3. Currently we just reply 'D' to trash the dump request. What controls are available in z/OS 1.6 to set a maximum primary/secondary allocation for dumps? SMS Dataclass? Parmlib ? Regards, Doug

Can anyone tell me how to restore a multi-volume z/OS HFS using DSS and end up with the restored HFS in 300 cylinder extents? DSS is so 'smart' that it always deletes my pre-allocated HFS and tries to make 9000 cyl extents. Guess what, I want to put the HFS on some MOD-3's instead of MOD-9's.
