VM:Secure for z/VM

Issue/Introduction

CA VM:Secure (TM) Version 03.2 RSU-2001

When trying to relabel a volume, minidisks that are defined over the 65520 limit is not changed.

Entering command: VMSECURE CHGVOLNM VM481A VX481A LABEL

The operation fails with message:

VMXCHG0752W Skipping volume label change for the 0777 minidisk of user V077229 due to error updating directory entry.
VMXDYG0121E Error 124 from DIAGNOSE X'84' processing.

Minidisks defined and sized to fit under the 65520 cylinder limit works okay.

The device type specified in the DASD CONFIG are as follows

DEVTYPE 3390-216 3390 4096 261555

And the volume is included in a pool

SUBPOOL LXTPOOL LINEAR LOWEND *

VOLUME VM481A 3390-216
EXTENT 0 0 * ALLOC
EXTENT 1 261554 LXTPOOL

  ****************************************************************
 
  Using DIAGNOSE X'84' to alter minidisk extents (RMDISK
  operation) on an EAV volume with cylinder extent definitions
  crossing the or being greater than the 65k cylinder boundary
  will fail with RC=124 or RC=125.
 
 
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  Parameter validation during DIAGNOSE x'84' processing will
  consider Extended Address Volume (EAV) cylinder specification
  limits.
