Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All z/VM users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** This APAR for z/VM 7.4 Fix Pack 0007 contains fixes for the following problem(s): Problem 1: UNABLE TO DETACH CPOWNED VOLUME MARKED SHARED A customer was unable to detach a shared volume. It was found that within the detach processing code, CPOWNED CSE XLINK volumes with extents were being incorrectly identified as cross-system spool, therefore hitting an exit condition. Since cross-system spool is no longer a supported feature, the code should branch to detach processing instead.
Problem conclusion
Problem 1: UNABLE TO DETACH CPOWNED VOLUME MARKED SHARED The problem was fixed by correcting detach code. Users with XLINK CSE volumes should no longer encounter this issue and should be able to detach normally.
