Hello Brian, Why do you assume it is the Catalog Address Space that is allocated to the pack. Your display shows *MASTER* is allocated to the pack. (or is this my ignorance... *MASTER* is not CATALOG).
Bring the pack back online.....V 1301,online.....to remove the PENDING offline status. While the PENDING offline status exists there may be work waiting to access that volume. Review the datasets on the pack. Page or linklist datasets come to mind. Page datasets can be managed via command. LINKLIST datasets used at NIP time? IPL with new linklist! (and dont think about releasing linklist enqueue by command. because that would lead to an unexpected IPL anyway). There may be other reasons, but I am getting a blank....but knwowing what datasets are on the pack will help you resolve why *MASTER* address space has an allocation.
