The volumes are online, they're just not attached to the system. Your SYSTEM CONFIG file (on MAINT CF1) controlls what volume labels get
attached to CP during an IPL. (After an IPL you can manually attach or detach them.) So any volumes with unique labels that don't show as CP SYSTEM either aren't listed in SYSTEM CONFIG or were manually detached from CP. While it's legal to have multiple volumes with the same label, it's usually useful only when the devices are DEDICATED to 2nd level guests instead of attached to your 1st level CP. If you accidentally have volumes with the same label you need to make sur e you are using the one you intend. Only one of them can be attached to CP at a time. The user directory has nothing to do with this situation. It can't creat e it, and it can't detect it.
