Changing DRCT size

I think a statement in a recent topic thread said that CP allocations are read at ipl time only. Do I remember that correctly? I got the following DIRMAINT messages adding a user: DVHDRC3457I DVHUPDIR is unable to update object directory because DVHDRC3457I directory requires more than

You can dynamically add extra DRCT areas on any CP owned pack. There is no need to keep DRCT area in one extend either, I never encountered CP problems wit a DRCT area split in two pieces. You are right that Q ALLOC DRCT will not display the added/enlarged area's until you IPL (or ar eable to

Oh yes: with DIRMAINT there is no problem as with VM:Secure. It doesn't need to be brought down. Starting with r2.8 Service Pack 1, VM:Secure provides a new CPFMTXA command which allows you to change the allocation map on a volume containing the DRCT area, without taking VM:Secure down. It

I really appreciate all of the replies. What I have gotten out of them is that I can add additional DRCT space on a CPOWNed volume and it will be put into use immediately. Of course, by adding DRCT space, I'm referring to doing a CPVOL FORMAT of the space, specifying in the TYPE operand,
