Is it possible that these volumes were once non-sms storage volumes prior to their being converted to sms management and the Vatlist was never changed to reflect their conversion?
Change the Vatlist to Private for these volumes. Change the use to Private. Update the VTOC. Any allocations for temp storage which is not intercepted by your ACS routines are not going to these volumes. If temp allocations are being intercepted by your ACS routines then the use attribute of Stor is meaningless. I say this because that's the way it works at my shop. All of my sms volumes are Private and temp allocations under SMS control work just fine. ________________________________________ From: Richbourg, Claude [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SMS managed storage volumes. I have a pool of several SMS managed storage volumes that are out of, or soon will be, DSCB's. The ones that are 'USE ATTRIB of PRIV', I can move dsns and extend the VTOC in place via batch job. The ones that are 'USE ATTRIB of STOR', I cannot work with as I get this message, 'ICK31025I VOLUME NOT MOUNTED PRIVATE.' This SMS configuration I have inherited and I need to add VTOC space to a few volumes that are USE ATTRIB 'STOR'. My SMS knowledge is not very extensive and I have these two questions: 1) Should all volumes have a USE ATTRIB of STOR in this pool? 2) If I change the mount attrib to PRIV on the volumes I need to work with, then change it back after I finish, will that cause issues? Thanks up front for your insight.
