John, I tried your suggestion and it worked. When I perform D SMS,VOL(TMV023) it shows that it is disabled in all partitions. I should have mentioned that this environment is JES3. Kindly correct me if I am wrong, in the future instead of performing the DISNEW at the ISMF level, it would be preferable that I issued the command (via console) for each pack as you had suggested. My thanks to all of you who responded.

The current status should prevent new datasets from being allocated. You could have issued V SMS,VOL(volser,ALL),DISABLE,NEW for each volume instead of changing the source control dataset and activating it. Of course, you would need to remember that you dynamically changed the status of the volumes if you needed to make a change to the sms configuration (ie. change in acs routine(s)).
