We would CPFMTXA the entire volume to prevent future users from accidentally getting obsolete or sensitive data.
-----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Mitchell Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2008 3:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re-Use DASD We have reached the point in our Linux farm where some of our guests have served their useful purpose. As such I'm going to 'reuse' their DASD for new guests. I'm sure I can 'reformat' (cpfmtxa) them as I did originally, but I thought I would check on alternatives that others might have. All DASD used by the Linux guests are Full Volume minidisks. As you can tell, all of this is a new experience so dont hesitate to include the simiplest of ideas. Thanks.
