An issue has been raised about the "dummy" VTOC that DSF writes when you format a CPVOLUME. It contains only a type 4 and type 5 DSCB. No datasets. No free space.

In your experience, is that sufficient for MVS to refuse to allocate space on the volume? Or is the lack of type 1 DSCB that shows e.g. SYS1.VMVOL occupying the whole volume an issue?

Thanks.

The standard dummy VTOC always worked for us, but it has been
quite awhile since we ran VM.
