I can only think of 2 ways that could have happened. One is that the VM
system got reIPLed and grabbed the 4506-450D volumes because they had
the correct volser and were the 1st one found. If the system did not
get reIPLed then somehow something (FDR?) released volumes 4701-4708
from the system
Sorry sent too quick. If you want to continue to use this method I would
change the mail system to use volumes 4506-450D and then use 4701-4708
as the flash copies and then VM will always grab 4506-450D.

z/VM does take first device matching a VOLSER .
Enter CP QUERY 4506-4507 to see what volid CP saw on them.
And check you guest's DEDICATE's to see if they're still DEDICATE by volid:
DEDICATE 1500 VOLID x.
If the 4506-4507 volid's match the DEDICATE's then CP dedicated them to the
