Could it be that you got lucky? Since other ids are linking to the disk maybe the datamover has not been able to clean it up yet. Check to see who now owns the space that you are trying to allocate. If the datamover machine owns it you may just be able to delete it and assign it back to the original id. Cal Fisher

This was done just a couple of days ago. Just today I found out that there are some IDs that link to the deleted VM ID mdisk. Since I have a copy of the old USER WITHPASS, I extracted the VM ID that was deleted and try to add it issuing DIRM ADD and get the following errors: DVHALC3297E No gap of sufficient size found in candidate area(s). DVHAMD3298E DASD allocation attempt failed. I also notice that there are some IDs still link to the delete VM ID. I guess the IDs that are still link to the mdisk hasn't signed off. Is this the reason I can't add the VM ID again and getting the no gap error? TIA, Al
