Howard, First you have to find who has the current link to this volume. If it belongs to MAINT, then you can detach the virtual device number for this volume that is in use by MAINT. Once the query command shows that there are no users currently linked to this volume, then you can do the following: 1) detach 499 system 2) update your directory as needed for the additional mini disks on this volume 3) attach 499 system 4) directxa user - bring your updated directory online 5) either logoff and logon Maint to allocate the new mini disks to your virtual machine - or - use the LINK command to gain access to your new mini disks. Hope this helps. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E. Noal Senior Technical Engineer Office: (408) 970 - 7978 ________________________________
From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Howard Rifkind Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CP Owned Volume Question I have a volume with a label of VPWK03 at address 499. Being that the volume is already labeled should I assume that it has allocated to lets say PERM? Volume shows up as follows: q 499 DASD 0499 CP OWNED VPWK03 1 I would think that being it is showing a '1' it is in use by system. I want to allocate a bunch of minidisks on the volume but am having problems getting it to be available. In the directory I have it define as a full pack mini under Maint. I'm getting the following: CPFMTXA 499 VPWK03 HCPCCF0040E DEVICE 0499 DOES NOT EXIST I haven't done this for a while. How can I get this resolved so I can start to allocate minidisks on the volume? Any help is appreciated. Thanks _____________ LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.
