David and all, Thanks for information. The 2nd level system spool pack came up as CP owned pack addition to 1st level spool pack. So, I deleted the 2nd level spool pack from system config on the 1st level system and ipled 1st level and the second level successfully with the spool files.

Maybe it's best to consider this as a do over for the 2nd level system and let the pack just live on 1st level. hey an extra spool volume isn't going to hurt. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System on behalf of Alan Altmark Sent: Mon 3/12/2007 11:25 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: [IBMVM] detach spool pack from system On Monday, 03/12/2007 at 10:33 AST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have a second level spool pack attached on the first level system, > it's defined as CP owned pack in the system config on first level. > Is there way to detach it dynamically from system without updating config or > ipl ? > q a557 > DASD A557 CP OWNED 52LSPL 0 > Ready; > cp det a557 system > HCPDTS143E DASD A557 in use by system > Ready(00143); 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. Details at http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?SPFPACK.
