After install we rename a DASD volume as soon as possible to fit our names. Next we build our production VM's based on the install system.
The RES and SPOOL get a new volume name. So for instance VML1R0 (VM-linux 1, res pack 0) becomes VML1R1 (... res pack 1) and the same for SPOOL (VML1S0 becomes VML1S1). Our page volumes are reused in every VM so they never change names. Note that our RES contains software and essential minidisks only so it can fit within one 3390-3. If it doesn't need to be on RES it has been moved off to other volumes. If we don't need it in production (VMSES for instance) we don't copy it to production dasd in the first place. Regards, Berry.
