Hi, Thanks for your replies to my query. The TDAT creation took 50 mins starting at 11am These were the commands -    create dev count=264, size=260416 cyl, emulation=FBA, config=RAID-6, data_member_count=6 , mvs_ssid=0, disk_group=1, attribute=datadev; create dev count=96, size=219870 cyl, emulation=FBA, config=RAID-5, data_member_count=3 , mvs_ssid=0, disk_group=2, attribute=datadev; create dev count=16, size=75134 cyl, emulation=FBA, config=RAID-5, data_member_count=3 , mvs_ssid=0, disk_group=3, attribute=datadev;
Does anybody know how long it will take to create TDATs? I am going to be using SMC  I understand this task is normally performed in the binfile
VMAX TDAT creation
