Howard, You don't need to add them to the System Config 1st. The steps I use are as follows : 1. DET xxxx FROM SYSTEM (xxxx address of new page volume) 2. Q CPOWNED (To get next available slot number) 3. DEFINE CPOWNED SLOT nnn volser (nnn = slot number , volser = volser of new page volume) 4. ATT xxxx SYSTEM volser 5. Q ALLOC PAGE (New page volume should now show up) Don't forget to add the new volume to the System Config, or you will have unpleasant reults at the next IPL of vm Bob From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Howard Rifkind Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 12:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Adding a Page Volume to a Running z/VM System. At the risk of sounding stupid, what are the commands to mount another page volume to a running z/VM system. Do I need to first add these volumes to the System Config fie? Thanks
