Michael,

Try ¡°DISKMAP¡±. Its on MAINT¡¯s B disk but there is a help file.

I would say though if you want more minidisks add a pack for yourself. Makes upgrades simpler.

Hi Dave,

thanks for the pointer. Using a dedicated new pack is definitely a good point here, not meddling with the distribution packs.?

VMCE supplies two preconfigured empty disk packs, labelled VM50U0 and VM50U1 that
are to be used only for information put there by the end user. If you use those disk packs
for installation specific minidisks, then when a new VM370CE release comes out,
you can copy the user volumes to the new system release, and just add the new directory entries.

Thanks Bob, I will probably do so - especially because I ran into another trouble:

?

DMKLNK117E USERID VSAMIO NOT LINKED; VOLID 191 CONFLICT

what happened??

created disk image using dasdinit of type 3350 with label VSAMIO and attached it @ cuu = 06D5 in the config file

created user vsamio in the directory with minidisk 191 for vol VSAMIO
added attach 6d5 to system as VSAMIO in the profile exec of autolog1


?kind regards

Hi Michael,
I could better understand?what you are doing if you tell me what commands you issued,
what the responses are, and what the error messages say.?

I do know that 6D5 is defined to the system as a 2314 disk, not a 3350 in the DMKRIO?
ASSEMBLE file.

I suggest you try again using VM50U0 to define your new minidisk.

Hi Bob,

yes, my wrong...guessing free device addresses in conjunction with dev types is a bad idea. I've checked dmkrio assemble on F (not dared to change it) and looked up a free address for a 3350 - now everything worked as supposed
and I restored my vsamio vmarc to that disk. Work in progress! :-)?

Michael
