I believe I've found a solution to my problem. I've defined 4 small MDISK overlays on the 17G MDISK; each section can be CMSDDRed. I assume I was running into some type of CMS file size restriction. I don't really need to know what the restriction is/was. I can accomplish my task by splitting

This is what the 6.1 CMS Admin and Planning says: A single CMS file can contain up to approximately (231-1)-132,000 disk blocks of data, grouped into as many as 231-1 logical records, all of which must be on the same minidisk 2**31 = 2147483648So: (2147483648-1) - 132,000 = 2,147,351,647

I'd definitely give PIPEDDR a try! Splitting up a minidisk sounds like extra steps you don't need to go through... If this is just a one time thing - I guess do whatever works. PIPEDDR is a lot more flexible though.. Scott Rohling On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 12:13 AM, Victor Ochoa Avila

How about I bring up 6.1 with the couple of 6.1 page packs I can define and then add the 5.4 ones on the fly? (attach them to system, define cpowned, etc) That way they would not be in the system config and I could still bring 6.1 up on second level if necessary. Anne D. Crabtree System

Can't you go ahead and put them in your CP OWNED list and as long as they are not attached to the 2nd level id, you will get an error that they can't be found but the system will still come up as long as you still have at least one pack that you are using at 2nd now. Bob Bates

Hi, Anne. If your second level system is only to maintenance (5.4 or 6.1, no matter) , you don't need a lot of page packs. Define a virtual machine with 256G and one mdisk (not full pack) to PAGE, formated with the same volser as the fullpack. When IPLed on first level, it can take the full
