Joe, Assign a Storage Class to these datasets that has Guaranteed Space equal to YES. You can then direct your allocation to the specific SMS volume of your choosing. HTH, Dave O'Brien

Due to the high activity rate and their critical availability/response times for these 'online' datasets, we need to ensure they are del/def to the same volume every night to ensure XRC does not deploy device blocking. Is there an easier way of doing this than my current plan which involves adding a filtlist to direct them to a SG that only contains one volme? I seem to remember an SMS option that can override the ACS and force them to a specific volume (but can't remember what it is). Any/all options considered.
