We want to share a few DASD among our four Lpars and have SMS doing allocation. Each Lpar runs z/OS as a monoplex seperate from the others. Two are 1.4 and two are 1.7 right now. We do not have any kind of sysplex. Nor do we have an SMSplex, whatever that is.
We would update SMS rules in every Lpar to indicate these volsers in an SMS storage group and set up storageclass, dataclass & mgmtclass. Each high level qualifier would be setup in every Lpar's master catalog using an existing ucat on a non-SMS dasd that is online to all lpars. Would SMS for lpar-P get confused if SMS for lpar-D was allocating a file on those dasd at the same time she was? Does SMS from one lpar need to know what SMS from the other lpar is doing?
