Ron, I have no arguments with what you wrote except "I" probably would add five DEFRAGs to it. One defrag of one volume per storage group per day or per week. I would defrag the volume with the largest frag index. No harm, no foul there and it may just handle one of those monthly space abends.
Call this plan a compromise between arguments from both camps. A placebo if you will. <grin> There, I feel better already! <g,d&r> Bob Richards -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Hawkins Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 4:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FW: Do we have to defrag MVS volumes on newer generation disk arrays?
