Thanks to Rob and the others who replied. I may have erred on the side of brevity in my original question. I am working on a problem from one of our customers. This customer added a volume to a storage group, but we did not report a decrease in the percentage used across a group of volumes. I was trying to confirm that this was in fact due to no allocation being done.
Back to the technical level, I am looking at the SGD rather than the VLD. Is there a reference in IBM documentation for the "first allocation" condition?
