Mike, What are the correct disk sizes for 191 and 192 for future growth when they are formatted for LNXMAINT?

There is a more recent "Virtualization Cookbook" which describes RHEL 6.2. It is a "whitebook", not a redbook. Start at http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/mikemac/ - the most recent Cookbook is always at the top. (and we have one in draft which will describe RHEL 6.4 - hopefully a draft will be available soon). > each linux virtual server should get its own 3390-3 dasd That's kind of small these days. I'd recommend at least a 3390-9 to start with. > i need to create a 192 disk for LINMSTR (only), which will contain the linux boot files and that said 192 disk is not replicated in clones. Best practices *seems to be* to define a CMS minidisk in each z/VM system that is linked read-only as each Linux virtual machine's 191 disk. In "The Virt'n Cookbook", it is the LNXMAINT 192 disk. The operative line in the LNXDFLT PROFILE is: LINK LNXMAINT 0192 0191 RR This way each Linux system can first boot CMS and have the opportunity to run the SWAPGEN EXEC to create VDISK swap spaces. After creating the swap spaces, Linux can be booted from minidksk 150 for example. I wold also say this could also be considered "best practices" (others on the list may not agree). "Getting Started With Linux" does not describe such an environment, but I would recommend it.
