Hello, I'm wondering if the VVDS "MUST" be cataloged or not... All of our VVDS have the following file naming convention : SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser And are definied as with this IDCAMS statement : DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser) - NIXD VOL(volser) - TRK(45,1)) So, there are cataloged to the MCAT of the system where they have been defined... But, when we "init" a such volume on a different system, the VVDS is not catalogued on the system where the volume is used... Is it a mistake ?
