Alan here is the output from Q PAV ALL
q pav all
There are no Parallel Access Volume devices known to this system
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:10:02 has no mention of
The Q DASD DETAILS does not contain the HYPERPAV DETAILS
q dasd details f802
F802 CUTYPE = 2107-E8, DEVTYPE = 3390-0C, VOLSER = VMUW02, CYLS = 65520
CACHE DETAILS: CACHE NVS CFW DFW PINNED CONCOPY
-SUBSYSTEM Y Y Y - N N

DEVICE DETAILS: CCA = 02, DDC = --
DUPLEX DETAILS: --
PPRC DETAILS: PRIMARY VOLUME
CU DETAILS: SSID = FA00, CUNUM = F80A
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:19:24
Looks like the device is not even detecting HyperPAV status.

Instead of querying the control unit, you need to QUERY PAV ALL.
HyperPAVs are not associated with a base device until an I/O is
performed, and that association only lasts for the duration of vthat
I/O. Hence the failure of QUERY CU DASD ALIAS to give you anything
useful. Instead, HyperPAVs are in "pools" that are selected by CP for
association with a base device in the same pool.
QUERY DASD DETAILS will tell you the pool associated with a specific
base or alias address.'
It's that use of the word "associated" that needs to be looked at when
thinking about PAV vs HyperPAV.
