VM system disk arrangement

I am looking at reworking the arrangement of disks in the VM 5-pack system.

I have looked at the current disk utilization of MAINT, and I believe that all of his minidisks can comfortably fit on a single 3350.  Also, all of the VM system disks (PERM, TDSK, TEMP) can fit on a single 3350.

Now of course on a real mainframe we would want these disks spread out over several channels, but it seems to me that with Hercules it does not matter.  Is that a correct assumption?

I propose:

  disk 1: PERM, TEMP, TDSK
  disk 2: all of MAINT's disks
  disk 3: OPERATOR, RSCS, RSCS1, CPWATCH, AUTOLOG1, CMSBATCH,
          ALGOL, BREXX, COBOL, DOSVS, OSBASIC, PLI, PL360, RPG,
          SCRIPT, TAPEMAC, WATFIV
  disk 4: GCCCMS
  disk 5: REGINA, CMSUSER

Comments on this layout?

Thanks, Bob
