Hi Terry,

Format and allocate paging volume .. (keep cyl 1 as perm the rest
should be page)
Then :

Yes if you have Slots available to allocate the new paging volume to.
Do a

Also be sure to add the same information to your SYSTEM CONFIG
files located on the PARM disks of MAINT (CF1, CF2, CF3) in the
same slot number. That way, the next time you IPL, your new
page device will be there also.

That is not necessary for either page or spool space. CP will protect

Are you wanting to create a new file pool or add space to one? Adding
space to a file pool has been turned into a piece of cake compared to
what it used to be. It is now a four step procedure. The FILEPOOL

The restriction on the VMSYS_ filepools is well publicized if not well
known, and there are installations with a standard node: filepool
already and in some cases they're global.

Given that IBM discourages use of the VMSYSx: pools for real user data,

A bigger concern than the required restore capability is whether you can
shut down the servers. The answer in a lot of cases is that we must
strive for as close to 24X7 availability of our systems as possible.
That usually includes the requirement that the file pool servers be
available, too.
