Hello Jon, 1. add enough SMF datasets to cover your longest enqueue time...
e.g. NAME VOLSER SIZE(BLKS) %FULL STATUS P-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS1 PRDSM1 100020 100 DUMP REQUIRED S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS2 PRDSM2 100020 8 ACTIVE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS3 PRDSM3 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS4 PRDSM4 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS5 PRDSM5 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS6 PRDSM6 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS7 PRDSM7 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS8 PRDSM8 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDS9 PRDSM9 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSA PRDSM9 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSB PRDSM9 90000 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSC PRDSMA 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSD PRDSMA 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSE PRDSMA 90000 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSF PRDSMB 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSG PRDSMB 100020 0 ALTERNATE S-SYS1.SYSA.SMFDSH PRDSMB 90000 0 ALTERNATE We are putting 3 50,000 track datasets on a mod-9. so far today we have DUMPed to 18 times for the two members of the sysplex.

I have in the pipeline a process which uses date-time stamped datasets instead of GDG datasets. This removes the GDG enqueues. Written in REXX....there is also a second REXX to handle the MXG portion of the process. sorry I cant release them.... but you have the idea.
