Certainly you can find all the gory details in the z/VM System
Programmer's "bible", the manual: CP Planning and Administration.
But the bullet points are pretty much:
- Find an available DASD volume accessible to your z/VM system.
- Run CPFMTXA against that DASD, formatting the whole thing, and
allocating
- Cylinder zero as PERM, and
- 1-END as PAGE.
- DETACH that device from the ID that formatted/allocated, and: CP ATT
rdev SYSTEM
- Update your "SYSTEM CONFIG" file on MAINT's CF1 disk using whatever
procedures you already use. E.g.
- Find a free CP_OWNed 'SLOT', and change that to match the new page
DASD volser, and mark that as OWNED, e.g.
CP_Owned Slot 11 VMPG01 OWN
- File "SYSTEM CONFIG", run CPSYNTAX against the updated "SYSTEM CONFIG"
file to check for errors.
- As long as there are no errors, bring the volume online to CP by
entering:
CP START DASD rdev PAGE
(You may have to detach the rdev from the system before CP START, I don't
remember offhand and have to go to a meeting now).
