I've never worked in a shop where it was tolerable to permit DFDSS to hold the SYSVTOC enq/reserve for the entire length of a dump - and this was on relatively small mod 3 and mod 9 DASD, and not the huge volumes you're talking about. For this reason, I've always had the following in place:

++USERMOD(ADRUENQ) REWORK(2006145) /* */ . ++VER(Z038) FMID(HDZ11K0) . ++SRC(ADRUENQ) DISTLIB(ASAMPLIB) . ADRUENQ CSECT ADRUENQ AMODE 31 ADRUENQ RMODE 24 STM 14,12,12(13) USING ADRUENQ,15 LM 14,12,12(13) LA 15,4 BR 14 END The tradeoffs are described in topic 8.4 Enqueue Installation Exit Routine (ADRUENQ) in manual z/OS DFSMS Installation Exits.

Brian, why not eliminate the STM and LM instructions? In this code, they serve no useful purpose, except maybe to expend a small fraction of a second of CPU time.

If you collect SMF Type 19 records, beware that an
SMF-initialization-time LSPACE request is issued for every volume
connected to the system. If SYSVTOC.volid is held by another system for
any significant period of time, an IPLing system will appear to be
"stuck". This happened to us and we had to wait over half an hour for a
full-volume dump (occurring on another system) of a 60K cylinder DASD to
finish before SMF would initialize and the IPL could continue. The
contention looked like this:

ISG343I 08.05.18 GRS STATUS          FRAME LAST   F      E   SYS=MVS70
S=SYSTEMS SYSVTOC  TIVSM4
SYSNAME        JOBNAME         ASID     TCBADDR   EXC/SHR    STATUS
MVS70     DFHSM70            0026       00BA2E88 EXCLUSIVE    OWN
MVS60     SMF                0018       00BFD0C0 EXCLUSIVE    WAIT

IBM's suggestion for a fix/workaround/solution? Don't collect SMF Type
19 records. :-(
