<snip> Seems to me if I remove the extend pool then SMS would have issues accessing datasets that have extended to the extend pool. SMS does not access files. It just determines where they go. <unsnip>
An Extend Pool is a little different than 'normal' SMS allocation. As long as your Primary Pool (pool1) is adequate for extended allocation then I believe that Ted's reply is accurate.
