Hi, Cam. The complete format of the DIRM CLONED command is this:
DIRM FOIR <new_user_id> CLONED 150 <existing_user_id> 150 AUTOG <dasd_group> Create a new minidisk by cloning another existing minidisk. The new disk will have the same device type and size as the existing disk, and will also contain all of the data from the existing disk. (The existing disk is not changed.) What DIRMAINT does under the covers is this: 1) Allocate a new minidisk to new_user_id that has the same size and device type as the existing_user_id's disk has. Locate the needed free space in the dasd_group. 2) depending on the underlying DASD subsystem, copy the DASD from the original disk to the new one, using either DDR or FLASHCOPY. Make sense?
