Subject: [h390-vm] add new dasd to vm/370 sixpack

I cannot find anything on the net.

What I want to do: add a dasd for a new user (bRexx tester) to a sixpack
instance (I want a new dasd because I will take that dasd for the user to new
systems with new levels of bREXX on it). I also can take a new instance online
and just reuse CMSUSER’s disks, like I did for my own userid, but I thought
that this should be doable and should be documented. I will do the
documenting if someone can help me.

What I did:

(I chose 6A0 because that seemed to be defined as a 3350)

dasdinit -a vm3350-7.6a0.cckd 3350-1 VM50-7

Added that to sixpack.conf at A06, Hercules (4.00) starts without complaining.

Added a clone of CMSUSER to the directory, but with VM50-7 instead of
VM50-6. Ran direct sixpack, worked like a charm. User can logon.

with maint, VARY ONLINE 6A0

ATTACH 6A0 TO SYSTEM

it then complains VOLID MISSING OR INVALID

You need to specify the volume ID here

"CP ATTACH 6A6 TO SYSTEM AS VM50-7"

I cannot find IBCDASDI to put a label on it, but I thought dasdinit did do that

It does

I cannot find SYSTEM CONFIG so I assume this level did not have that yet

Yes it needs to be assembled into DMKSYS and the nucleus re-built
