Do not forget to update the CP_Owned list in SYSTEM CONFIG. That said, it is highly unlikely that the device will actually drain during operation. You could simply update SYSTEM CONFIG and wait until the next IPL or schedule one. That will accomplish the removal of the volume without all of the other hassle.
