Hi Mark,
If you have no accessibility from z/OS to your DASD (even offline works if you have a system somewhere) and your res has pinned data in the controller , I hope you have a back up of your res (and essentials) that you can lay down somewhere you can get to. If so, then to delete the pinned data use the IDCAMS SETCAC HE DISCARDPINNED command. If issued to an offline device you would need to use the unitnumber. If you want to try 'graceful' first, try using the DESTAGE command. If it was mine, with a power hit, I would do a thorough search for tripped breakers at the equipment level . Can't tell you the number of times I have found a tripped internal breaker after a hard power hit. If you find any they can be reset. T he DASD subsytem may then need to be re-IMLed. The controller will try to destage if/when the volume becomes available to it. You should be able to find device type specific docs in your 2107 Operations and Recovery Guide. I don't have any 2107, but the docs should be avail on the web, or perhaps someone on the list has a copy. In any case, since you can't call support, you're in a pickle. The service manual, which should be with controller - probably inside - should doc the FE method - if you can get into the panel.
