The easiest way is to create a new PROD volume to add to the pool. Make sure the VTOC, VTOCIX and VVDS are larger than this one. Do a LISTC ENT(SYS1.VVDS.PROD06) ALL and see what the sizing looks like and either double or triple the new one.. then add it to you pool enabled. DISNEW the PROD06 and let it drain as best it can. Isolate the datasets that need an application (CICS, IMS, MQ, etc..) broght down or the file closed. Then pick a point you and your customers agree and move them. During the rest of the time, see what datasets are not enqueued that can be moved within the pool easily. So, rather than doing all that to PROD06, do it to a new volume and migrate/move the datasets off as you can. Much easier. If you have the spare dasd volume. Then return PROD06 to the group that gave you the new PROD0x volumes You might also want to review all VTOC/VTOCIX/VVDS datasets for the other PRODxx volumes and see if they might have future issues. Hope that helps.
