Yes, observed something very similar once. The volume was not offline to all LPARs' when some volume level work was done.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Argall Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Volume ID Gone Good Evening, I am hoping someone may have seen a simliar issue occur else where. Recently we experienced an issue where volume id on a 9980V disappeared and became unuseable to the operating system it was attached too. The first symptom of the problem occurred when IOS071I - missing channel and device end messages began being issued by the operating system. The volume was brought online to another system, and it showed that it had lost its volume identifier. The volume was clipped and further analysis showed that the VTOC and the data set (SYS1.HASPACE) was listed there. An attempt to bring the volume to the owner was unsucessful. There is no evidence of external access & activities being the cause of the volume identifier disappearing. The issue is under investigation from many sources. Thanks in advance.
