Our PAGE volume is in the CP OWNED list and it is attached to the system. It
just that VM does not recognize any allocation on the PAGE volume.
DASD E102 DVPAGA 3390 CKD-ECKD (UNITS IN CYLINDERS)
TDISK TOTAL=00000000000 INUSE=00000000000 AVAIL=00000000000
PAGE TOTAL=00000000000 INUSE=00000000000 AVAIL=00000000000
SPOOL TOTAL=00000000000 INUSE=00000000000 AVAIL=00000000000
DRCT TOTAL=00000000000 INUSE=00000000000 AVAIL=00000000000
And this PAGE was initiated as a part of the vm 6.1 installation PACK. We did
recently migrate the DASD from one Storage sub system to a new storage system.
I just DDR'ed 'copy all' the volumes and relabeled the new sysres, shutdown and
re'ipled on the new storage. Do I have manually reinitialized the PAGE volumes,
will DDR copy all not copy the allocation table.
Thank you,
Ashwin

Subject: Re: Page volume not recognized after IPL
If -at IPL time- a volume is included in the CP OWNED list, it is attached to
SYSTEM automatically.
At runtime: when you ATTACH a disk to SYSTEM, CP will verify if it is in the CP
OWNED list.
In any case, at ATTACH TO SYSTEM time: for disks in the CP OWNED list, and only
for those, CP will read the ALLOC map to see what it can use (PAGE, SPOOL, etc).

Also it must be ATTACHED to SYSTEM.
I had a problem recognizing my second page pack at level 2 because it was not
attached to level 2 as SYSTEM.
q dev# and/or q dasd volser should show its attach status,

Re: Page volume not recognized after IPL
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.

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.
Thank you,
Ashwin Bhemidhi
