Should I be letting Linux instances, under z/VM, utilize Cylinder 0? Currently I allocate Cylinder 0 to $ALLOC$ and the rest of the volume to the Linux image. I CPFMTXA cylinder 0 in VM and give it a VOLSER. Then, I access the devices under Linux and dasdfmt them, and partition them using fdasd.
Until I get FCP and an ESS setup to allocate larger volumes, I will be using LVM for the larger file systems. I am planning to take full volumes of 3390-3 DASD and create Logical volume groups from them. I can split the devices between 4 FICON channels and 2 Controllers. Any recommendations?
