Bob Richards -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kelman, Tom Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 2:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SMS Allocations How does SMS determine the volume for the first extent of a new allocation? I thought it would first try to find for a volume in the pool where it could get the first allocation amount in one extent. However, based on what I've seen in trying to allocate a dataset that's not the case. It just seems to pick a volume out of the pool at random.
