Gents,
Thank you for the commentary, will add larger volumes to the budget wish
list, possibly the question was not clear. So here is a more specific
question.
When DB2 wants to dump, specifically where do I get to specify the primary
and secondary space allocations for that dump?
Regards, Doug

Dynamic dump allocation gives you plenty of control over the allocation

However, why in this
day and age are you thinking in terms of mod-3 devices? That is an
utterly paltry 2.5GiB. I have a 4GiB flash drive sitting in my pocket
right this second.
The system takes dumps so the vendor can analyze and correct problems.
It is in your own best self interest to make sure that it's possible for
the vendor to do that effectively. You don't want to lose or corrupt the
data in that DB2 database now do you?
Carve off a pool of (much) larger custom volumes and let SVC dump
processing use that. You don't have to let it take a gazillion dumps,
but you really ought to get a complete dump for a problem otherwise
you're risking a lot more than a few GiB of disk space.
Amen, Bro! The volumes we use for SVC dumps are 60K+ cylinders big, making
a partial dump an extremely unlikely event. (Haven't seen one yet.) And,
while we're on the subject of dumps, 1MB system trace table size ought to
be the default!
