Terry,
Now that I'm part of the z/VM team, I've been able to get a VM Developer
Page. See: http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/
I do not have the ability to get the cpformat exec as the book explains.
Is this exec available somewhere else where I can just down load using

When building new Linux boxes, I have to format several drives. I
normally log as Maint and do them one at a time. Is there a way to do
multiple drives simultaneously, or log to Maint sessions multiple times?
Any ideas as always are greatly appreciated.

We used a service machine for that that can dispatch work to other servers:
BUSERVER and BU1 through BUn as workers. It could work for you, but maybe
you'd need to change some REXX code (e.g. we used RACF, so we never had to
take care of passwords on LINK commands).

You can batch up the commands for ICKDSF (the guts of CPFMTXA) to do
multiple drives in series, but CMS is a single tasking OS. You can only do
them serially, or you need to use multiple userids. (note that it doesn¹t
have to be MAINT you can attach the disks to other userids from a

Another thought: If your disk subsystem supports snapshot, format one
³template² disk using CPFMTXA, attach it to a suitably privileged ID, attach
the new disk to your id, SNAPSHOT from the template to the new disk, then run
ICKDSF CPVOL FORMAT for just cylinder 0 giving the new label and CP
