"Just re-assign the volumes in the extended pool to the primary storage group."
I thought you couldn't do that, did something change along the way that I missed? I did that once, granted, it was several years ago and after I re-assigned the volumes to another pool we couldn't access the datasets on those volumes. Don't recall the exact error but it stated something to the affect that the storage group name was incorrect.

Once a dataset is already allocated, SMS doesn't touch it. There may be an issue if the dataset has to extend to a new volume, but I don't think so. I'm not a big fan of spill groups. Just re-assign the volumes in the extended pool to the primary storage group. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
