Adding a page volume is low risk. Just make sure you format the new volume
with CPFMTXA first. Whether you add a new volume or not, you should drain the
volume with errors, and make sure it's drained in SYSTEM CONFIG, too.

Yes, but what would you consider the *risk* of dynamically adding a volume and
setting the problem one to DRAIN?

You need to list it as a draining volume in SYSTEM CONFIG before the shutdown
and IPL.
