ZFS file made bigger

[Crabtree, Anne D]

After installing z/os v1r9, I converted the HFS files to ZFS files.
Now, I'm trying to put maintenance on and I am running out of space on
the root ZFS file. I tried defining a bigger vsam dataset and using
IOEAGFMT to format it. When I tried to use ADRDSSU DUMP/RESTORE
scenario to copy the smaller ZFS file to the larger one, it appeared to
have deleted my file and reallocated it. Although the new file was
somewhat bigger, I still run out of space on the RECEIVE job.

The linear dataset is only in 14 extents which is another source of
confusion to me. What is the correct way to make a ZFS file bigger?

Hi

From our experience:
- if you can avoid to put anything to the ROOT, ibest if it is read
only, and have only mount points.
- with the IOAGFMT you can incease the size of the ZFS, but maybe you
need to add more volumes to the cluster to enable to expand.
- if you restore an older version, you should have mount it , and copy
via pax or copytree to the new ZFS

I've used the ISH ISPF shell - dropdown File systems; zfs aggregates;
Extend. It's nice and easy!
