Have you looked at, or tried the $MSPL command? Adam

However, the volume will not complete the drain until empty. This *may* take weeks, depending on your installations choices. YMMV. This may require a major subsystem be bounced so the output can be purged. I have seen cases where a JES restart was required to free the spool space. Draining/restarting initiators is also helpful. Spool Offload can also be a big help here. Use the output of the $DSPL command to process as much as you can prior to restarts You may get luck. IIRC, as of JES 2.1 there is a variation of the Drain command that causes the spool data to be migrated to the remaining volumes.
