The system volumes - not just the IPL volumes, but everything needed to get MVS up and ready to restore applications - should not be managed by SMS. In my reference below to "The first volumes to restore in a D/R situation," I was thinking of the first SMS volumes that are restored to get the "critical" applications up. Of course, this assumes that a sufficiently small subset of the total SMS environment can be defined to make it worthwhile.
