John, One question before you merge your SMS Control files.
Of the SMS managed volumes on your 4 LPARs which are not going to be shared, do you have any duplicate vol sers? As I understood your original post you only wanted to share a small subset of SMS managed volumes between LPARs. Just understand that the non-shared SMS managed volumes all need to be uniquely named. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John M.

Yes, we already run SMS on all four lpars; Maybe only for USS on TEST lpar. I will have to check if GRS is required, ring I think. I have been bitten by that before. A Sysplex might be required for a Star GRS. An SMSplex would be one file (common? shared?) for all four lpars? I must go learn more about SMS and SMSplex! Again, Thanks to ALL!
