Hi Dennis,
I know for us Dynamic PAV just did not work unless we had both "I/O
priority management" & "Dynamic alias management" set to YES in WLM.

Subject: dynamic PAV
We recently migrated all our mainframe data to a new Hitachi storage
array (9990v). In the initial setup we defined in HCD base (3390B) and
alias
(3390A) volumes with wlmpav=yes (for the aliases). On the storage array
we
have "Compatible PAV" enabled. In WLM we have Dynamic alias
management
set to yes.
We are running z/os 1.4 and wlm in goal mode.
My problem is that I cannot see any dynamic assignment of alias volumes
to base volumes with high IOS queuing times. Using HDS Storage
Navigator's Compatible PAV manager I see the first 64 base volumes (out
of 192) with 1 alias volume in each of my control units. I have yet to
see anything change over the past 4 weeks. I would have expected to see
maybe a base volume (beyond the first 64) to have an alias assigned
especially if the base volume has high ios queuing times (as seen in
Omegamon).
I can however manually assign alias volumes to base but this is not
dynamic
management. What am I missing to allow dynamic management of
pav's? Thank you.
