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.
