Thanks Mark, It will mean that I have to read up on how to implement the DFS and zFS functions in my environment to provide this type of support for HFS. I have reallocated and mounted my /tmp as 7000 cyls. I hope this is enough. However, the Serverpac seems smart enough to allow me to restart

Replacing a library in the LNKLSTxx is more complicated than just adding one. TMON replaces the library at the bottom of the list which may explain your 0C4s. To remove/add a library you do the following (IIRC) 1) Create a new LNKLSTxx from the currently active one 2) Using the z/OS Commands
