Hi Alan, 

I just followed your instructions and fixed it. Since the PAGE device was not 
being used I was able to correct it without adding another device. 

I will have to remember to drain a PAGE volume no matter what. I am learning 
new stuff every day.

Thank you,
Ashwin

Since CP is not actively using the volume, you should be able to
1. DRAIN it
2. DETACH it from SYSTEM
3. ATTACH it to yourself
4. Run CPFMTXA ALLOCATE on it
5. DETACH it from yourself
6. ATTACH it to SYSTEM
7. START it
