The Question is:
Hi,
dka500: is our cd drive. Here is what I did:

$ allocate dka500:
%SYSTEM-W-DEVALLOC, device already allocated to another user
$ deallocate dka500:
%SYSTEM-W-DEVNOTALLOC, device not allocated
$ show device/allocated
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
BETA$DKA500: Online alloc 0
$ dismount dka500:
%SYSTEM-F-DEVNOTMOUNT, device is not mounted
$ deallocate beta$dka500:
%SYSTEM-W-DEVNOTALLOC, device not allocated
$ allocate dka500:
%SYSTEM-W-DEVALLOC, device already allocated to another user
----------------------------------
I am sure I am the only user using the CD drive (dka500:), but I do not know
why is it allocated yet I can not deallocate it.
My question is: how do I deallocate the dka500: cd drive and allocate it again
without shutting down the system.
Thank you
The Answer is :
Your process does not have the disk device allocated, but another
process apparently does. The disk device is not mounted.
Use the DCL command:
SHOW DEVICE/FULL DKA500:
to identify which process currently owns (has allocated) the device.
If this is a cluster configuration, you will want to have exactly disk
device with any particular device unit number present in each non-zero
disk allocation class -- it would appear that this is host BETA, and
that the disk allocation class is zero. (Which would imply that there
is another (local) process that has accessed this device.)
