The SMS pool thresholds have been there for many years--I'm willing to bet that they were there even before zos came into the picture.
Thanks, Hervey -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gilbert Cardenas Sent: Monday, February 06, 2012 3:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SMS/ISMF Pool Storage Group Screen(s) Can someone please clarify something for me. Apparently, there were some parameters that were introduced to SMS/ISMF and these parameters were not present in the 1.9 release but are there now in the 1.11 release. In particular I am talking about the Pool Storage Group Define or Alter screen(s). In Z/OS 1.9, I do not remember having the following settings: Allocation/migration Threshold : High..85 (1-99) Low . . 1 (0-99) Alloc/Migr Threshold Track-Managed: High..85 (1-99) Low . . 1 (0-99) Were these parameters introduced in 1.11 and if so were there some PTFs required to implement these? We have been on z/os 1.11 since around Aug/Sept of last year and we were cruising along just fine until recently. All of a sudden we have a pool filling up and not migrating datasets like they used to. I have not been able to locate any documentation warning of this change either in any release guides or migration notes. It just all of a sudden appears in the SMS implementation guide but perhaps I was not looking in the right place. I would appreciate any info on this topic if you have some. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
