Re: WRKOPTVOL shows phantom volume -- MIDRANGE-L

Well now THAT i would take to IBM. That trick has always worked for me (and I use it a fair bit!)

Clearly given the name of the stuck. Volume this is a show stopper as well!

Let 'em have it Rob!!

We fight this all the time!. The workaround seems to be to create a
device with the name opt02 and mount another disk in there. Then unmount
it.

IBM is aware of this issue but isn't so keen on fixing it because there
is a workaround.

There is no such volume loaded.
This rack has but one physical DVD and it has the B_GROUP_1 loaded in it
right now.

I can delete OPT02 and it still shows up on OPT02 in WRKOPTVOL
I can rebuild it and it's still there.
