Terry, You can add the page volumes to any available slot in the config file but you cannot change the ORDER of the spool volumes in the config file. CP saves this information at shutdown time and uses it to reconstruct the spool files at IPL time, so the order of the volumes in the slots for spool must stay the same.
You can add your newly added page voluems to any available slot in the system config file. They don't have to match the slot number you used when you dynamically defined it. One last note about adding paging volumes that I think others mentioned but is very important.... Make sure that you ICKDSF format all of the appropriate cyls for the new paging device and then allocate the same cyls. If for instance you format all but one cyl for a volume and define an place the volume in use, everything will go just fine. However, 2 days or 2 years later, when CP decides to use that one cyl for paging is when you see the problem. Aria.. On Fri, 25 Jul 2008 19:22:12 -0400 Martin, Terry R.
