If you're going to use ICKDSF to initialize a Hercules CKD/CCKD DASD image, you need to specify the -a (alternate tracks) option to dasdinit. ICKDSF is complaining that the alternate tracks are not usable, which is exactly. right: dasdinit does ont create them if you don't specify -a. THey won't ever get used, but they must be present.

Thanks Jay.? I did not create the disk with alternate tracks.? Since I'm running MVS TK4- as a guest of VM/370 CE, I performed the following steps.

  • DETACH 344 MVS (MAINT)
  • VARY OFF 344 (MAINT)
  • DETACH 344 (HERCGUI)
  • DASDINIT64 -z -a -lfs D:/VM370CE/Disk/MVS38/KICKS0.344 3350 111111 (HERCGUI specifying overwrite)?
? ? ? ? ? ?21:40:17.266 DASDINIT64 -z -a -lfs KICKS0.344 3350 111111 ended; rc=0

  • VARY ON 344 (MAINT)
  • ATTACH 344 MVS 344 (MAINT)
  • Resubmitted the MVS job. (HERC01)

Do I need to shutdown MVS and/or VM before creating the disk?
 

Yon don't need to shut down MVS orr VM before creating the disk, but you do need to detach it from Hercules; you can very it offline to MVS and VM, then tell hercules to detach the device, run dasdinit, then use the hercules attach command to connect to the new one, then very online to VM and attach it to MVS, then vary it online to MVS.

I did that.? The third bullet shows where I take it away from Hercules.

I tried with the volume mounted to MVS but ICKDSF didn't like it.? It gave me the message:
ICK31049I UNITADDRESS SPECIFIED FOR VOLUME MOUNTED ON-LINE.

So, I issued a VARY 344 OFFLINE

Are you sure your Hercules dasd image isn't marked read-only? (If not in Windows, then perhaps in your Herc config file?)

Fish, you found it!? The folder properties are RO so when the file was created, it inherited read-only status.? In fact, Hercules reported it:and I missed it.

I'm using shadowing and completely missed this.? Now, to start over...

Thanks to both you and Jay.
