That is absolutely the wrong thing to do. I am now suffering because someone else did that to dasd that is EMFFd to 3 LPARS. (It was all ZLccuu). It requires meticulous record keeping and is very error prone. I did wipe out a disk needed by one system because the records I received were not complete Fortunately, it was a disk that was to be used by a new system and had not been updated; it was easy to restore. Also, it is a huge headache if you ever replace your DASD. I don't know about RACF, but there is no mechanism built into VM:Secure for easily doing a mass update of volsers ( I know, you can change the volser with one command - if it is a VM:Secure .controlled disk and nobody is linked to it. The latter is hard to achieve around here.)
