Bob, The manual you need is "Implementing System Managed Storage". It takes you through the basics of getting started with SMS. I don't know what version of z/OS you are on, so here's a link to all the DFSMS bookshelves: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves?filter=dfsms&SU BMIT=Find
As far as the ISMF panels, start at option 6 - Storage Group. You need to fill in your SCDS name if it isn't already, then put the Storage Group Name in the proper blank, and tab down to "Select one of the following options" and enter 4. This takes you to the "Storage Group Volume Selection" panel, where Add Volumes is option 2. After you've added them, you'll need to validate and activate your SCDS. HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E.

I know the group is very busy is there a manual, white paper, SHARE presentation that will help me? Thanks in advance everyone. I truly appreciate any suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
