"Baby, 

I am a tad confused here. Vary commands also can be dependent on what is going 
on inside the system.  

i.e.; CPU , I/O …many things. Secondly, why is the speed of execution as issue 
? Do you have processes that are dependent on the timing of these varies ??? 
"

"For eg , we had an abend yesterday where STEP 1 issues a vary command 
against a set of volumes . And STEP 2 runs an ICKDSF to init the volume . 
It fails saying the volume is not offline . 
"  

I doubt that CPU utilization would affect only VARY commands.  

However, commands are executed asynchronously, so there is certainly no 
guarantee (nor even likelihood) that they will complete any time (FSVO) soon.  
In the case of VARY OFFLINE, any current activity on the volume(s) would have 
to quiesce.
