Hi Esmie,
If you take the all of the VSAM datasets off of the volume, you can delete the VVDS (I can send you the IDCAMS if you want) and allocate a new, bigger one on the same volume. Personally, I would not zap a VVDS. I know that some probably would, but not me , I wouldn't. I would stop new allocations. I would move off the data to another volume using a logical copy, not a physical copy - CA-Disk, FDRDSF, DSS . I recommend taking a look at the size of the VTOC and the VTOC index as well. Since the VVDS is too small the others are likely to be too small too. The VVDS should be cleaned out before and deleted BEFORE you re-init the volume. I can help you with the VVDS clean out, if you want. I have done many of them. Do you have QuickRef? Its DASD free space panel will show you the percentage of free space in the VTOC and index. It works with single volume, SMS pool, or volser pattern. It's an easy way to check a bunch of volumes. Having one volume with a too small VVDS sug gests that there are probably more out there. Folks often take the defaults and new folks often code sizes according to the way it is in the book. The more datasets that may be assigned to a volume, the bigger VTOC, VTOC index and VVDS will be needed. It is better to have all three generously sized rather than too small.

I ran the report and moved 90 dsns from the volume, however the problem still persists. I was told to check OEM option to ZAP the VVDS. I would like to try that out but I am not sure where I should look for it. ________________________________ From: Linda Mooney <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 4:06:12 PM Subject: Re: IEC331I 050-030(VVDSFULL, PROD06) Hi Esmie, If you want to get a look at the contents of the VVDS, you can run this - //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * PRINT - INDATASET(SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser) - COUNT(1) It should shed some light on what has filled it up.

When I check via ISPF 3.4 is shows that it is a 1 ext. The VVDS was built at TRACKS(30 1). To fix the problem the doc says to move dsns off that volume. I tried that but the problem persists when the system is trying to allocate a dsn on the volume. Since the volume is SMS managed (phew), I put it at DISNEW. The doc says to backup the volume, and reinitialize it with a larger VVDS. Is there something else I can try before I try the doc's recommendation? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
