You can't do[1] NOFMT unless the online SPOOL volumes are already
formatted. You have to format
/online actions. I am thinking the first scenario will force a MINI
Format on the JES2 Spool packs and reduce our time getting JES2 up at DR.

Or is it

I'm not sure this is that much of an issue anymore.
Years ago, in a prior life, probably while running MVS/XA, our DR plan
called for allocating only one spool volume before the first IPL because the
format during the cold start took such a long time. After the IPL, we would
allocate the rest of

Ah, all good points. But my query is now leaning towards having a clean
spool at DR without the headaches.
So is my assumption correct? If the checkpoint/spool space that is restored
from Full Volume Dumps has a S JES2,PARM='COLD,NOFMT' that JES2 would invoke
a MINI format (QUICK Format) rather

I think you are going to need someone who restores their spool volumes at DR
to answer this one.
We just INIT the volumes and allocate the spool space from the DR floor
system while the other restore jobs are running; we don't restore the spool
volumes.

Thanks,
That answers the question.

Yea, I never have figured out why DASD folks love doing volume restores
only to reformat the volume. I guess it might be easier that trying to
keep track of all those allocation jobs.
My experience with six 3390-3 volumes is just a couple of minutes to
don't think there is enough data on the tape to
produce a formatted dataset.
