CANNOT REBLOCK A MINIDISK THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RECOMPED

Reason:

You issued the CA VM:Director CHGMDISK command. The minidisk you are attempting to reblock has more physical blocks than are covered by the minidisk’s CMS file structure. This usually indicates that the minidisk was formatted with the RECOMP option to reserve some space for data not in CMS format (for example, an IPLable nucleus). CA VM:Director cannot preserve the data that is outside the minidisk’s CMS file structure and must refuse to reblock the minidisk. The CHGMDISK command terminates, the minidisk is not changed, and no new minidisk is created.

Action:

Allocate a new minidisk through CA VM:Director, then use native CMS facilities (FORMAT, DDR, or COPYFILE) to place the desired data on the new minidisk.
