Zaromil, Under these conditions, I agree with you. But Mr. Cullen wanted to allocate from all sides and not DISNEW anything.
As Seymour would say, "Not my dog".

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? <snip> Our example: - sysplex A (production) with 5 systems z/OS 1.7, GRS star - sysplex B (test) with 1 system z/OS 1.7, GRS star The volumes used to transfer data from sysplex A to sysplex B are SMS managed, defined in both SMSes. Allocation of datasets containing data to be transfered is possible only in the sysplex A (source). In the sysplex B (test) shared volumes are defined with DISABLENEW attribute, so it is not possible to allocate them. The usercatalog is on one of the shared volumes (SMS managed). It works like this for some years now. If you want to be able to transfer data in different directions, you could control the allocation the way we do, or using security definitions, or ASC routines.
