6285-6287 ATTACHED TO MAINT
► Use the CPFORMAT command with the AS PAGE parameter:
==> cpformat 6285-6287 as page
Format the following DASD:
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6285 MAINT 6285 3390 FR6285 6285 0 3339
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6286 MAINT 6286 3390 FR6286 6286 0 3339
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6287 MAINT 6287 3390 FR6287 6287 0 3339
WARNING - this will destroy data!
ARE YOU SURE you want to format the DASD as PAGE space (y/n)?

DASD status after:
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6285 MAINT 6285 3390 UP6285 6285 0 3339

This formatting job should run for about 10-30 minutes depending on many factors.
4.6.2 Formatting DASD for minidisks
In addition to CP disks such as page space, System disks will be needed to create minidisks
for the virtual machines. In this section the DASD which will be used for the minidisks of
LNXMAINT, RH6CLONE and RH6GOLD will be formatted
► Query the DASD that will be used for minidisks. In this example they are 6289, 6290, 6293,
6294 (3390-3s), 63A2 and 63A9 (3390-9s):
==> q 6289 6290 6293 6294 63a2 63a9
DASD 6289 FR6289 , DASD 6290 FR6290 , DASD 6293 FR6293 , DASD 6294 FR6294
DASD 63A2 FR63A2 , DASD 63A9 FR63A9
► Attach the six volumes that will be used for the cloner, the common CMS disk and the
golden image. Note that in this example the DASD are four 3390-3s and two 3390-9s. If
you are using all 3390-3s, you will need eight devices:
==> att 6289 6290 6293 6294 63a2 63a9 *
6289 6290 6293 6294 63A2 63A9 ATTACHED TO MAINT
► Invoke the CPFORMAT command against these volumes using the parameter as perm:
==> cpformat 6289 6290 6293 6294 63a2 63a9 as perm
Format the following DASD:
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6289 MAINT 6289 3390 FR6289 6289 0 3339
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6290 MAINT 6290 3390 FR6290 6290 0 3339
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 6293 MAINT 6293 3390 FR6293 6293 0 3339

MAINT 6294 MAINT 6294 3390 FR6294 6294 0 3339
TargetID Tdev OwnerID Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev StartLoc Size
MAINT 63A2 MAINT 63A2 3390 FR63A2 63A2 0 10017
