If you have the luxury of an IPL, this is easy. Just put Drain records in
SYSTEM CONFIG for the volumes that you don't want pages on. CP won't put
anything on them, not even its own pages. The original question was whether
there's a way to move the pages later. If there aren't any CP pages on the
volume, you can drain it and start shutting down virtual machines until the
page count goes to zero. At that point, it's safe to detach the volume from
SYSTEM and format it or whatever. If and when Live Guest Relocation comes out,
you could move eligible guests to other systems instead of shutting them down.
You don't even have to move all of the guests at once. You can move one guest
at a time to another system and then move it back. When it comes back, it
won't have any pages on the drained volume.
