The z/OS Management Facility User's Guide is from the z/OS v1r11 level.
In the User's guide is the topic of the SYSPLEX shared SYS1.DDIR and how to
clean it up, the following is from a section on " Creating the sysplex dump
directory":
Establishing a larger
sysplex dump directory might become full with the dumps you have saved. To
create more space for dumps, you can delete old dumps from the directory. If
you must retain the saved dumps, however, you can instead migrate your existing
dumps to a larger sysplex dump directory.
To establish a larger sysplex dump directory, follow these steps:
Create a new sysplex dump directory data set through the BLSCDDIR CLIST,
for example:
EXEC 'SYS1.SBLSCLI0(BLSCDDIR)'
'DSNAME(SYS1.DDIR) VOLUME(VOLSER) RECORDS(25000)'
If your existing dump directory was created with the default size of 15000
records, you might want to specify a larger size. Approximately 50 directory
entries are used for each incident and more are used for multi-system dumps.
Update BLSCUSER with the new dump directory name (but make note of the old
dump directory name).
Recycle the DUMPSRV address space (CANCEL DUMPSRV; it restarts
automatically). This action registers the new dump directory name to DUMPSRV.
Run BLSJPRMI (START BLSJPRMI). This action updates the in-storage copy of
the dump directory name.
Use the IPCS COPYDDIR command to copy the old directory entries to the new
directory data set, as follows:
COPYDDIR INDSNAME(SYS1.DDIR) DSNAME(new.DDIR)
Your new sysplex dump directory now contains the old dumps and can be used to
store new dumps.

Subject: Reorg SYS1.DDIR?
Our SYS1.DDIR has hit the 123 extent limit. I'd like to reorg this file but
there is an allocation on it by task DUMPSRV. I am not really sure of the best
way to handle this, any help is appreciated.? tks Matt
