No, adding empty slots requires an IPL of z/VM It has been suggested to define all 255 slots directly, it doesn't cost much. And, the good news is that you don't even need to code the 255 statements in SYSTEM CONFIG as RESERVED, just code those to which a pack is associated and one with number

I am not sure about this, but I think it might be that the mdisks get detached and re-linked, which would kill your SFS server if they were TDISK. See what response you get to: #cp q v 301-305 immediately after the failure. The reason I think I remember this is that years ago I once tried to
