I remember I had a similar problem about 15 years ago when first started

First thing I would do is drain the volume, then run ICKDSF against it with

Adding additional volume(s) and waiting for the next IPL I would rate as low
risk. Continuing to run as you are, with the volume experiencing errors active,
I would rate high risk.

Adding a page volume is low risk. Just make sure you format the new volume
with CPFMTXA first. Whether you add a new volume or not, you should drain the

The only risk is that not draining the problem volume. Any existing page in the
problem error could cause a virtual machine or CP abend. The risk of not
draining it is increasingly larger as the disk continues to be used.
Draining and adding do work. I just added 10 disks to my paging farm.

Do the math Number one reason for ONE outage at each new z/linux installation is to
fill up page space - guess you were lucky and had some extra spool space (no block paging
so slow), so you luckily didn't take the outage - which makes your servers even slower
