OK, now I'm confused. Which question are you answering 'yes' to? You asked 2 opposite questions. In the subject line, you asked if the storage needs to be contiguous. In the body of the e-mail you ask if you could remove storage from C and give it to A without messing with B in the middle.
At partition activation the storage is assigned contiguously. That makes sense as it is the easiest algorithm. But it doesn't answer the question of whether it needs to be contiguous on a reconfiguration. I'm guessing it has to be contiguous, but at this point that's all it is, a guess.

At partition activation the storage is assigned in contiguous segments.

Thomas Ambros Operating Systems and Connectivity Engineering 518-436-6433 From: Tom Ambros <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 07/11/2013 09:20 Subject: Central Storage reallocation on z9 - requirement to be contiguous? Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> z9 with three partitions, activated in order A, B, C. No reserved storage defined. We need to remove some storage from C and assign it to A. Without any operations on B, can we deactivate C, reduce initial storage, reactivate it and then deactivate A later that night, increase initial storage and reactivate it successfully? I do not see any mention of a requirement for contiguous storage in the z9 Tech Guide, it says only that the storage can come from any unused storage or storage released from another partition.
