I'm seeing a strange problem with z/VM 5.4. On my 2nd level z/VM 5.4
installation system, I have the predefined PARM disks, MAINT CF1, CF2,
and CF3. I also have the predefined MAINT 123 MDISK for the 540RES
volume. The problem that I am seeing is that, originally, from MAINT, I
could not get a write link to 540RES to load the directory using
DIRECTXA and the pre-defined directory without doing a CPRELEASE A, B,
and C. I still cannot even after redefining the MAINT 123 disk to the
size of the DRCT space. CP Q ALLOC MAP shows that the directory space
is cylinders 1-20. An ICKDSF CPVOL LIST shows the following allocation:
CYLINDER ALLOCATION CURRENTLY IS AS FOLLOWS:
TYPE START END TOTAL
---- ----- --- -----
PERM 0 0 1
DRCT 1 20 20
PERM 21 38 18
PARM 39 158 120
PARM 159 278 120
PARM 279 398 120
PERM 399 3338 2940
so 540RES appears to be correctly allocated.
As you might imagine, this causes all kind of problems with DIRMAINT,
which I installed and enabled on the 2nd level system.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? It does not seem to
something that is related to the CP NUC because I copied CPLOAD MODULE
to my test lpar and it works as expected.
