Yes, that will work fine. It is best that all paging volumes are the same type (i.e. mod 3) and actually using mod 3s for paging gives VM more devices to use and lets it do more paging in parallel. Just make sure your page space usage is 50% or less - if it grows above that, add more paging volumes. Spool volumes aren't so critical, and using a mod 3 just gives you less space per volume, but unless you have a lot of memory and need a lot of space to hold a dump, it is probably enough
