Marcy,
FILESERV GENERATE does a CMS FORMAT of all the server minidisks, one at
a time. If you want to speed it up, you could do the FILESERV GENERATE
with a minimum number of minidisks in your POOLDEF file. While that's
running, run several VM:Batch jobs in parallel to CMS FORMAT and RESERVE
all of the other minidisks. When everything is formatted, run the
FILEPOOL MINIDISK command to add the rest of the minidisks to the
server.

How long does yours take?
Takes an annoyingly long time - nearly an hour - to regenerate an 90G
filepool.
If we didn't do disaster tests monthly, it wouldn't be so bad, but what
the heck could it be doing for an hour?! (z9 with ds8000 -- not
lightweight HW either).
