Hi Kris, Thanks much. Yeah, when we go to production he'll have his own page and spool packs - but I'd like to keep the footprint of the starter system small. z/VM used to ship with a bit of spool and page on the RES volume, I always found that very handy to get a small system up (you can always add more spool/page later and remove the areas from RES for performance) - I'll go format a SPOL pack............ :( Michael Coffin, President MC Consulting Company, Inc. 57 Tamarack Drive Stoughton, Massachusetts 02072 Voice: (781) 344-9837 FAX: (781) 344-7683 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.mccci.com <http://www.mccci.com/>

You need at least spool to get started: CP will page into spool when it doesn't find free PAGE areas, so you could leave out 530PAG to get started. But, as has been said often enoufgh: to get good performance later, you'll need some page packs anyhow. -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support 2007/7/26, Michael Coffin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Folks, I'm preparing to install z/VM 5.3 and notice the starter system now needs 530SPL and 530PAG. Has anybody completed installation of z/VM 5.3 from the starter system tapes (3390-3)? Is there ANY spool/page on 530RES or one of the 530W0x volumes? I'd rather not have to dedicate two entire volumes to spool/page just to get the starter system up........ -TIA Michael Coffin, President MC Consulting Company, Inc. 57 Tamarack Drive Stoughton, Massachusetts 02072 Voice: (781) 344-9837 FAX: (781) 344-7683 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.mccci.com <http://www.mccci.com>
