Hi Ashwin, Establish a R/O link from MAINT as vadr to that E102 and then enter: cpfmtxa vadr DVPAGA allocate This will read the allocation map directly from the volume without the risk to disturb it.
I do not believe that your z/VM 6.1 would not recognize allocation records if they were written correctly and also did never made any negative experience with DDR and COPY ALL. For 2nd level systems I do quite often what you did. So probably the mother disk was not initialized correctly during the basic installation process.

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.

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). 2010/11/19 George Henke/NYLIC <[email protected]> Also it must be ATTACHED to SYSTEM.

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.
