Yes, that volser and its TOTAL PAGES column should show up. Here's an
example from a z/VM 5.4 system running 3 z/OS guests and a handful of
mostly idle Linux for System z P.O.C. servers.
q alloc page

Can you paste the results from your own CP Q ALLOC PAGE command?
And perhaps from CP QUERY CPOWNED? That same system shows:
cp q cpowned

If your reply doesn't show proof of what's wrong, then run CPFMTXA on that
volume again asking to ALLOC, but only to display it. You don't really
need to change anything if it was done perfectly.

Re: adding more PAGE volumes
OK, but Q ALLOC PAGE doesn't change and I would guess that
is because we are NOT really paging yet. But then again, I
would think the "ALLOC" part of that command means it shows
everything that is allocated and eligible for paging ??????
.......... snip .............
And then: CP START DASD rdev ALL
or: CP START VOLid volser ALL
