Hello, Ashwin: For the dasd to be recognized it must be formated AND allocated as PAGE with CPFMTXA, AND must be defined as Owned into SYSTEM CONFIG. Is the DVRESB a new Page dasd? To check dynamically, use these commands:
CP DEFine CPOWN SLOT 6 DVRESB followed by other CP QUERY ALLOC If the Query shows the page area, the problem is in the SYSTEM CONFIG. If not, the problem was with CPFMTXA. ______________________________________________ Clovis From: "Bhemidhi, Ashwin" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 19/11/2010 07:26 Subject: Page volume not recognized after IPL Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> We have recently ipl’ed one of our test z/VM 6.1 system off the our alternate sysres pack. The system does not seem to recognize the page volume. Is there something I did not configure? I am ready to add another page volume to make sure that it does not ABEND due to lack of page space. I will check the allocation on the PAGE volume after I add some PAGE DASD.
