Purpose

SUBPOOL MAIN ROTATING 
LOWEND *

Defines one subpool, MAIN, with ROTATING LOWEND as the allocation procedure for MAIN, and no maximum size for allocation requests (designated by the asterisk). CA VM:Director uses the volumes in the reverse order from the way they are defined in the DASD CONFIG file. It allocates the first minidisk on VMPK02 and begins at the low end of an available extent. It allocates the second minidisk on VMPK01 and begins at the low end of an available extent.

VOLUME VMPK01 9336

Defines a 9336 DASD with a volume label of VMPK01.

EXTENT 0 15 * ALLOCATION
EXTENT 16 122199 MAIN
EXTENT 122200 126015 * SPOOL SPACE
EXTENT 126016 557999 MAIN

Define four extents for volume VMPK01. The first and third extents are fixed CP extents (indicated by the asterisk), and are used for allocation and spool space, respectively (indicated by the comments following the asterisks). The second and fourth extents are available for minidisk allocations and are assigned to the allocation definitions set up for subpool MAIN.

VOLUME VMPK02 3390

Defines a 3390 DASD with a volume label of VMPK02.

EXTENT 1 3338 MAIN

Defines one extent for volume VMPK02. This extent is available for minidisk allocations and is assigned to the allocation definitions set up for subpool MAIN.

IGNORE $ALLOC$

Specifies minidisks to ignore during overlay checking.

NOLINK MAINT 190
NOLINK MAINT 19E

Identifies directory links not to be mapped.
