One more from the peanut gallery... we don't get "I/O problems" on DASD these days. That used to be in the old days where we still had platters with rust that rotate... ;-) If you really have I/O problems then it would probably affect the entire DASD subsystem, so you have also other things to worry about (maybe someone on MVS using your volumes for something else?) It may also be that the page volume was not correctly formatted and CP complains and makes you *think* there are I/O problems on the device. In that case it may be an incorrect operating procedure and your new volume may be also bad. The page pack needs to be formatted completely with ICKDSF - not just the first cylinder, as some (MVS) storage admin folks are used to. Depending on what was there in the past, it may work for part of the volume. If Q ALLOC shows you only a small number of pages in-use on that volume (about the same as the number of errors you had) then that would be my guess. Rob
