I have the process and have done this before. What I am asking is what the list would consider the *RISK*? Low, Medium, or High?

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, Mark L.

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?
