No. The Official Answer is to 1. Drain the volume 2. SPXTAPE DUMP all spool files to tape 3. Update SYSTEM CONFIG to remove the now-drained volume 4. IPL CLEAN 5. SPXTAPE LOAD all the spool file back. You can be more selective and avoid an IPL by using Mark Lorenc's SPFPACK utility from the VM Download Library.
