As long as you have the most current maintenance available for your IMS

We use the RESERVED keyword to keep spare volumes offline. It only
appears on the INIT command, so you are also wiping out the volume.
Clip only renames the volume and you can access the uncataloged
datasets from another system or clip back to the original name.
