Within the IODF for the system, you can specify whether a device comes up online or offline to a system. This is where those ADCD volumes would be specified as online.
This website is a pretty good outline of how to change an IODF (albeit a little hard to follow): http://www.mainframetips.com/zos-production-iodf-configuration-display-create-change-using-ispf/ HTH -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Knigge Sent: Monday, August 03, 2015 10:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Volume is offline after IPL (ADCD beginner question) All, I’m currently installing and customizing an z/OS 2.1 ADCD. Until now, nearly everything I’ve needed to customize is working pretty well, but there is just one thing I really don’t get. I don’t understand the way how z/OS brings volumes online on IPL. The ADCD comes with several volumes and all are online after IPL. Now I’ve added an own volume, assigned an address in the devmap file and did an IPL. Now… the volume is always offline after IPL. I can bring it online with “V 0af1,online” but I don’t know what I have to do that z/OS will bring it online automatically… (BTW, the address I’ve choosen is present in HCD and I’ve formatted the volume with ICKDSF). I’ve read about a VATLST00 Member in SYS1.PARMLIB – but….. If I have to add my volume to this member, why are all the ADCD-Volumes online automatically after IPL (as these volumes are not listed there). Where is the magic?!? I guess this is a pure z/OS Admin Beginner Question….
