Normally - the z/VM sysprog would have a good handle on that...  All anyone
can say is that QUERY DASD FREE just shows you what is 'currently' NOT in
use by this system or a guest.   It could be in use by another LPAR - it
could be used by a guest that isn't currently running.   In my various
customer sites, we usually label the DASD to show it's available (AVxxx or
FRxxxx).    But whoever manages the DASD on z/VM should know all this.   If
that job has fallen to you - then we at least need to understand your
environment in some detail to help you find out what you can safely use.
