IBM has VTFM (which is diligent/copycross, etc). Why do we need this product or use this product while we can directly intercept and direct allocations to a particular storage group (such TMMGROUP) with disk volumes, let's say a dedicated set aside pool from a storage device? With extended dataclas attribute, the datasets in this group could be really huge (several gigabytes). To me, this product adds unnecessary complexity. With this, we don't need PAT (parallel tape access), because all the datasets in this group are disk datasets, accessible by multiple address spaces/jobs. Pleaset let me know your thoughts or am I missing something here?
