The 19E Y disk can be changed and the files copied without a problem. It is a little more work than adding a new "public" disk that everyone accesses. Once the disk is moved, a new "Y-stat not available" error message starts appearing after IPLing CMS. To resolve that, do the SAMPNSS CMS from MAINT, then IPL 190 PARM SAVESYS CMS.
