Cameron: As Tomas suggested, you will be assigning complete disks to each user, so the easiest approach (at least for the 700 and 701 addresses) is to find unassigned disks and then format them and assign them to each user. Check with Rich or some other LINUX type as to the kind of formatting needed. It has been so long since I formatted any of these that I have forgotten the requirements. You should have enough free devices to do this. All the devices are 3390-9s (10017 cylinders). We started with 439 of these volumes. I don't know how many have been taken already, but there should be enough (80) for your 40 users still free. As for the 191 disk space, these will have to be individually assigned in DISKMAP.
I'm kind of surprised that each LINUX user needs 2 full 3390-9 volumes, but if that's what the LINUX guru is saying, then so be it. What is the status of the 8100? There's a huge amount of additional disk space available there, but last I heard (several months ago), it was just getting powered on. I'm pretty sure we have no connected channels to it, since I haven't been asked to update the IOCDS, so it can't be used, although it may have been potentially formatted from its own HMC function. Have any FICON cables ever been purchased? Has any plan for connecting and formatting the 8100 ever gotten started? Mike On 02/14/2013 10:06 PM, Cameron Seay wrote:

For disks 700 and 701, the disks where Linux is going to live, the disks are different slightly in their labeling: 700 is MM2101 on for user LINUX001 AND MM2104 for user LINUX002, etc. I know how to use DISKMAP somewhat. But I'm not completely clear about how to apportion DASD for these users. I sure don't want to overwrite an address and I know DISKMAP will warn you about overlaps but I would hate to mess up the addressing. I was with the VM sysprog when he defined these, but I forgot exactly what I'm supposed to do. Do I find more minidisks labeled MMxxxx and assign them sequentially in DISKMAP? I have never allocated DASD before. I am going to need about 30-40 guests and I have the DASD for it.
