If it's SMS, the VVDS has data for non-VSAM also. I agree with you. Stop new allocations (DISNEW), Carefully move everything (make take several passes), when it's empty, re-init it and allocate a sufficiently large VVDS on it. I still always allocate a VVDS right after I init a new volume. I

Re: IEC331I 050-030(VVDSFULL, PROD06)

Hi Esmie, If you take the all of the VSAM datasets off of the volume, you can delete the VVDS (I can send you the IDCAMS if you want) and allocate a new, bigger one on the same volume.  Personally, I would not zap a VVDS.  I know that some probably would, but not me , I wouldn't.  I woul

Correct. And the definitions on the device are static. Once WLM starts re-assigning the PAVs to new UCBs, it is called Dynamic, or if re-assigned with each I/O, Hyper-PAVs. If you need to change I/O addresses, you can change the I/O gen to use new addresses and IPL to use the new addresses. On
