Mark, I must admit I read the following in the OP :
"I've shared volumes before by having a storage group which is written to from one SMSPLEX being online and in read mode from another plex with no problems" ..and thought he meant SYSPLEX for "another plex" rather than SMSPLEX - hence my rather off target reply.
