Other than using SMS, is anyone aware of a system setting or JCL parameter
that would bias the allocation of a disk dataset toward a range of volumes
within a pool defined by esoteric ?
Depends on what you mean by "bias". If you define an esoteric name to a
group of disk devices, and do allocation with UNIT=esoteric, then only
the volumes mounted on those devices will be considered for allocation.
But if you want other volumes to be considered if the dataset can't be
allocated on the "esoteric" devices, you need some software. If not
SMS, several ISVs offer software to do this type of allocation control.
