What I do is this :-
1. Check that the last cylinder is not in use on the starter system
volumes (no starter system from IBM that I have ever seen uses cyl 3338).
2. Label new volumes with whatever label meets your local standard.
3. Define a Userid on your 1st level system that will be used

If you change the name of a spool volume you must change the name in SYSTEM CONFIG. Make sure it is
in the same slot number. The name doesn't matter the slot number does. If you change the slot number
