Re: WRKOPTVOL shows phantom volume

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.

I do a WRKOPTVOL and I am seeing:

I_BASE_01 OPT02 *PRIMARY *DVD-ROM QOPTSEC

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.

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