You can use IDCAMS Dcollect to gather information about your dasd, including SMS constructs. If you have MXG, it is a piece of cake (half a day work) to condense this into useable figures, store them in a SAS database and produce beautiful plots for short and longterm planning. If you don't have MXG, but you have SAS, it is a little more work. If you don't have SAS, you must interprete the records yourself and produce your reports.
