Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Allow more than 1 new extent to be formatted during a warm start

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

POWER should be able to format more than one new extent at a time during a warm start. We're migrating to VSE 2.6 and want to add 31 additional volumes to IJDFILE but POWER won't allow us to format more than one at each warm start. When we try to format 31 extents (volumes), we receive message 1QD1A, RC=001.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) Urgent

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) As soon as possible

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Performance

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

Cold starting 32 volumes takes over 5 hours. We are a large bank and when we cut over to VSE 2.6 we can't be down as long as it takes to format all of those volumes.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Remove the one-extent-at-a-time restriction.

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

We are a large bank and can't be down while we format all the spool space that we will require.
