The first question that comes to mind would be
"Why"?
The VM label has a perfectly fine OS VTOC in it, showing
that the drive is full. Since you can't mix zOS data and zVM minidisks on the
same volume (other than when you're running zOS as a guest and give him his own
minidisk there), there should be no need to put a different VTOC on the drive to
have it seen by zOS.
To that end, I label drives all the time that come online
to our zOS system, and they've never had a problem with them, and I've never had
a problem with them using my drives by accident either.

Subject: I have to use the 'O' word.
Hello. We are a VM shop only, therefore our DASD is formatted for VM and have a VM VTOC. Is it possible to put an osvtoc (the 'O' word <g>) on these volumes without totally reformatting the drive, etc?
Thanks,
Steve G.
