Richard,
I allocate the first 1000 cylinders of each of my (3390-9) page volumes as
SPOL, then mark it as DUMP space in SYSTEM CONFIG. That would free up your
dedicated DUMP volumes, which could be redeployed as spool.
Best regards,

My current CP Owned list looks like this:
Slots Use
1-10 Spool
11-15 Reserved
16-17 Dump
18-39 Page
40 T-Disk
41-50 Reserved
I need to double the spool space for upcoming events (z/TPF dumps). I know
that I can use slots 11-15 and 5 slots from the 41-50 range. I would rather
keep my Spool space in one range. Would anything break if I changed it so
that slots 1-20 are spool and everything else pushed down to higher slot
numbers, as below? I know that changing the slot numbers for page is no
problem, and I cannot think of a good reason for the system to care about
the placement of T-disk, but what about the Dump? It is a part of Spool,
but it gets reallocated at IPL. Is there anything that would break if the
dump disks moved from slots 16 and 17 to 31 and 32?
Slots Use
1-20 Spool
21-30 Reserved
31-32 Dump
33-54 Page
55-64 Reserved
65 T-disk
