oh dear. the drain command has worked at least in the sense that no further writes should occur to the volume. Do another Q ALLOC you should see the pack is in DR status. To start spooling again do a CP START DASD ... But now you will have to get all the spool off that volume, and remove it from the cp owned list which is going to involve a reIPL and some other tasks. One approach is to do a SPXTAPE DUMP of all your spool (remember to do the NSS - SDF queue), remove the volume from the cp_owned list in system config, and reIPL with a COLD or CLEAN start. Ugh. Then SPXTAPE load. Not fun.
Maybe you should just leave the volume on the 1st level, and start over with a new volume starting on cylinder 1 for the 2nd level.

Thanks for your help, Ann "David Kreuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 03/12/2007 10:38 AM Please respond to "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: detach spool pack from system Hi Ann: You can try draining it with the CP DRAIN. DASD command, but first check if there are any CP areas on the pack, do a QUERY ALLOC. IF there are any in use areas, you will have to get it off the volume. If it's being used for spool you will likely need to back up all your spool. You should definitely have 2nd level volumes start on real cylinder 1 or beyond. Leave real cylinder 0 to 1st level CP.
