You still have the DAHMER's System disk mounted on the other two nodes, as
DAHMER$DKA0, it will need to be dismounted from those boxes first. As by
setting an ALLOCLASS, you are changing it. to $x$DKA0, where x is DAHMER's
ALLOCLASS.

Did you set SHADOW_SYS_DISK and SHADOW_SYS_UNIT? You will want set at least
the former, if you are going to shadow the system disk.
