Within a single storage group, the only way I can think to do it is with Guarunteed Space & coding volser's. I wouldn't recommend it though.
What kind of environment to you have? With Raid hardware, PAV's, etc., these datasets would have to be pretty hot to justify jumping through hoops to separate them. Has anyone looked at any performance data to determine if this is justified? Granted I'm not there to hear the discussions, but I have to wonder if applications is not operating on some very outdated assumptions. It might be to your benefit to take a look at their reasoning. ddk Dave Myers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> 03/05/2008 01:10 PM Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject dataset separation within a Storage Group What is the best way to separate datasets within a storage group. Applications want 3 datasets A.B.** to always be allocated on different packs than 3 datasets A.C.** These are small files, and I hate to waste an entire volume to create another STG GROUP... just to isolate them...
