Scott,
First thing I would do is drain the volume, then run ICKDSF against it with
"CPVOL EXAM" command to determine if it is formatted correctly. You may
want to ensure it doesn't come online after the next IPL, so either update
SYSTEM CONFIG to mark it as DRAINED, or clip the volser so it can't be
found. This will let you properly format the page area on the volume after
the next IPL. Whether you add an additional page volume now depends on how
much page space you have available (and I/O rates to the remaining paging
volumes).
Best regards,

I am receiving I/O Errors on one of my PAGE Volumes. What would be
considered the risk of adding a new PAGE volume (CP Format, etc.) and
draining the problem volume. Management is saying wait until we can IPL
the system and say it's ok.
What does the list think?
