This is not early in the install process, but it is necessary to start over
then that is what I will do...
The SPOOL and PAGE volumes are the predefined areas that IBM provides with
z/VM 5.1.

To generate the ALLOC maps, I linked to the full volume definition with the
directory. That is why it indicates it is a minidisk, but the system as it
as a full volume.

Cecelia,
Is this early in the install process? Using the predefined SPOOL area
that IBM provides with z/VM? If so, then perhaps you DO have some sort of
hardware or software error?
Maybe you could provide the output of commands:
CP Q ALLOC SPOOL
CP Q DASD DETAILS rdev_addr_here
And if you don't mind sharing with other sets of eye all willing to help
out, run CPFMTXA on all the SPOOL volumes listed by Q ALLOC SPOOL to
display their ALLOC MAPS (you don't need actually change anything just to
look). If you're using minidisks to access the SPOOL areas from a 2nd
level system, providing the 1st level MDISK statements might help, too.
If you have added SPOOL space, then are you 100% certain that you
formatted ALL the cylinders that you have allocated for it? It's easy
when working 2nd level to miss a cylinder. There have been recent posts
on the list discussing leaving cylinder 0 (zero) alone on the real DASD
(so that the volser remains unchanged), and then on 2nd level defining a
minidisk from real cylinders 1-end. If you were on 2nd level and LINKed
that 1-END minidisk, then formatted from cylinders 1-END, and allocated it
as SPOL 0-END, it could cause the problem you're seeing (along with lots
of other things that could cause it).

The spool area is a 3390-3 volume with 1% of utilization...
Thanks.

You have filled up spool space during the build process. Either add
some spool space or clean up some spool files that you don't need.
