>Actually I suspected it but some bosses were scared about having so many sms >volumes with PAVs.
SMS and PAV's are not connected (yet). PAV's are based on device activity and I/O queuing. Devices that are not SMS managed are still eligible for PAV's (EG: SPOOL). And, you can (through the IODF) deny PAV allocation to any volume, SMS or not. - -teD O-KAY! BLUE! JAYS! Let's PLAY!
