One other thing, your file is apparantly rather large. An Index CIsize of 1K 
will guarantee a high number of Index Levels resulting in a relatively poor 
level of performance.
 
Increase the data CI to 8K and the Index to 4K. That should keep your Index 
levels to 2 or 3.
Also supply a Bufferspace of 1M to load as many index levels into memory as 
possible when doing direct processing. Sequential processing will also be 
aided. Currently you will need 90 I/Os to read a cylinder. With a large enough 
Buffsp, it will be 1 I/O. The best I/O is still no I/O.

Why not let SMS do its job?

Change your VOLUME parameter to (* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *) - 
depending on the number of available volumes in the pool up to 59 asterisks.

Change your CYL parameter to something like (300 200) which will allow more 
volumes to be eligible for allocation.

Good Morning,
 
  I am trying to allocate a VSAM dsn on 3 volumes which are not SMS managed.  
However, SMS tries to allocate the dsn in a SMS storage pool.  How can I bypass 
SMS so as that I can allocate the dsn on these 3 vols.  Below is my jcl and the 
error message.
