Thanks guys. It's fixed. All I did was a DIRM RLDE to reload the
extents file. I think that took care of it.

And you don't have to take DIRMAINT down to erase files-- you can issue
DIRM CMS ERASE xxx VCONTROL E (don't have a system handy - I think 1DF
is accessed as E -- otherwise do a DIRM CMS Q DISK or DIRM CMS LISTFILE *
VCONTROL * to figure it out)

I would try a DIRM RLDE first... that should rebuild the VCONTROL

then yes, you can erase them, though I would report it as a bug and leave
one around to be able to recreate.

Karl,
The VCONTROL files can be found on the DIRMAINT 1DF minidisk.

Karl,
You are saying that at not time in the past, these volumes were not
referenced in any of your user directory entries? What is the creation
date of the vcontrol file?

Yes, the DIRMAP shows:
VM1L0A 3390 0 1112 1113 Gap
0----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VM1L06 3390 0 1112 1113 Gap
0----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VM1L07 3390 0 1112 1113 Gap
0----------------------------------------------------------------------------

0----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VM1L09 3390 0 1112 1113 Gap

But why are they there? They're not supposed to be there.

Did you run a DIRM DIRMAP?

Karl,
I believe that they are created in response to volume references found in
one or several of your directory entries.

Spool volumes as well as SYSRES.

Hi All.
Just noticed something when we did a "DIRM FREEXT" to see what free
extents were and we got this on one of our systems:
VOLUME DEVTYPE -------------- FREE EXTENTS -------
$$$$$$ 3380 START= 1 AVAIL= 500
$$$$$$ 3380 START= 503 AVAIL= 382
VM1L0A 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L06 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L07 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L08 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM1L09 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112
VM2K01 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2K02 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2K03 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338
VM2L00 3390-09 START= 6734 AVAIL= 3283
In the EXTENT CONTROL file, I have VM2xxx defined but I do not have VM1xxx
defined. Even checked the directory and there's no references to these
DASD. Why is DIRMAINT picking this up? And where is it getting its
information from? Would like to get them off of this list since they're
on our other VM system.
Thanks
