Just to cover all the bases, you never said if you¹d started using TCPIPV, or had any data on the minidisk. If not, then you can simply change the MDISK statement, put the new CP directory online and go with it, no problems.
If there is already data there, then you could allocate a new minidisk starting at 8222, and use something like 1191 as the virtual address. Put the directory online, then use DDR to copy the contents of 191 to 1191. Now change the directory again to drop the MDISK 191 statement and change the 1191 address to 191. Put that directory online and then continue with what you were doing. Gaps on the disk can be annoying, especially if you¹re maintaining the directory by hand. The DIRMAP command is your friend, and should be run after any MDISK change to your directory, to help avoid overlaps, which are generally fatal to somebody. Investing in DIRMAINT can remove much of the aggravation of maintaining the directory, as it keeps track of free spaces and allocatable space, among other things. At that point, adding, moving and deleting minidisks become single commands. DIRMAINT is also almost a necessity if you¹re running in a CSE set of systems (Cross System Extensions).
