Of the three steps in the sample, only the second step creates PAGEDUMP and writes IPL text.
The first step deletes any pre-existing PAGEDUMP. The third step catalogs the new PAGEDUMP created in the second step. Nothing 'holds' the volume. You can put PAGEDUMP pretty much anywhere *except* sysres (already has IPL text) or the SAD volume itself (prohibited by SAD). You can put PAGEDUMP on as many volumes as you wish to guard, for example, against loss of access to a particular volume. SAD should be rebuilt for each new z/OS release and any other time a ++HOLD says to do it. . . .
