I've only read about the extended storage groups but haven't actually worked with them yet but consider this - a dataset spans both storage groups and now needs to add a volume. In this case, if the dataset has extended into the extend storage group, would the new volume not have to come from that storage group? And if it's been removed as an extend storage group, would SMS still be able to add a volume from that storage group? dd keller ************************************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
