I would strongly recommend not doing this...it puts all of your eggs in
one basket, so to speak. Especially if this is aging to be a production
system, you should consider moving some of the CP data area that are
normally kept of RES off to another volume. A good candidate is one of
the CP parm files, and perhaps the CP directory area.

I just did a fresh install of zVM 5.3 using a MOD9 for the RES volume.
The RES still has ~1500 cylinders free. Is it possible (or advisable)
to format a few hundred of those cylinders as spool space and move all
of the NSS/DCSS segments on to the RES? The zVM system does not have
access to any tape drives so I cannot use SPXTAPE.
Any help will be appreciated!
