If your storage admin plans for growth or changing requirements, your storage
groups probably have extra volumes defined in them. You can confirm this by
issuing the command
D SMS,SG(group_name),LISTVOL
The ones that do not have addresses in the display are "spare." Pick one,
initialize a new volume to that volser (as described in a previous response)
and SMS should start using it immediately. If for some reason the spare
volumes were not enabled, you can enable this one to all members of your
sysplex with
V SMS,VOL(volser,ALL),E

Our storage administrator is out sick and I got the job of adding new volumes
to our active SMS environment. I guess someone knew that had some SMS
expierence in the past. Anyway we share SMS across three LPARS ,I know I have
to define a VTOC, INDEX VTOC and since we run FDRABR so I also need to allocate
a FDR file(?) on these volume(s) that I will be adding. I haven't done SMS
administrative tasks in sometime. So I was wondering if someone could share
with me the steps required to add volume(s) to a SMS Storage group Via ISMF and
any other steps needed outside of ISMF. Can this process, adding volumes to
SMS, also be done in Batch. Thanks in advance!!
