Remove CP-Owned Disk

[Rene Wiedewilt]

hi,

i want to remove a cpowned disk from the system.
but i have a problem with the page space on this disk.
a "detach  from system" fails because the system still allocates page
space on the disk.
so i drained the dasd, but ibm told me that it can take days, weeks or even
more time till the system will
free the page space.
can somebody help me?
i know ipl the system will solve the problem, but there must be another
way... i hope.


MfG

One of the reasons that you should always use dedicated volumes for page
space is because once it is used for paging it can not be removed easily.
After you drain the volume VM will not write any pages to it. However you
must wait until every page that has been written to the volume has been
paged back in before the volume is free. An IPL will of free all the pages
on the volume.
