Martha, Others have suggested labor intensive ways to find this. I know of no program to do it. Perhaps you are thinking of the SPOOL chain program.
However, this got me to wondering about DCSSes or NSSes. What happens when a user or group of users request a DCSS or NSS and do not use all of it? Do unused portions of DCSSes and NSSes get paged out or just deleted as they can be reloaded if they are needed? Where I am going with the question is, could that page on the PAGE belong to a portion of a DCSS or NSS that many users may eventually need? By the way, a suggestion made to me many years ago when we could not find the owner of a dataset (yes, my other operating system days) on a 3330 we were converting to 3350 was to remove the volume and see who screams. Nobody screamed. That might work for a minidisk but certainly would make CP upset if you removed the page volume on a running system and CP eventually tried retrieve it. Do you feel lucky? I just realized you said "3 months". Apparently you did not IPL for Daylight Saving Time so waiting for Standard Time is not an option. Good luck, Jim -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Martha McConaghy Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2008 12:49 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Owner of a page I faintly recall that there is a way to find out who owns a page out on disk PAGE space, but can't recall how. I've got a page allocation out on an old disk that is set to be turned off. Its been drained for about 3 months, but there is 1 page allocated that never goes away. Something that doesn't get recycled obviously owns it, but I have a lot of virtual machines that never get recycled. It would help if I could figure out which owns it and just recycle that one. Any bright ideas?
