Dave, Do you have DFSMShsm? If so, turn on Interval Migration and it manage the % threshold of freespace for you.
If you do not have DFSMShsm, what do you have?

I'm now managing DASD management at my shop. One thing that bothers me is my guys getting off-shift calls because some active storage pools fall below a % threshold of freespace. We arent skimpy on provisioning, but dont want to over-provision either. We are IBM system automation shop, and I asked IBM if there was any "out-of-the-box" automation for SMS we could start with and tailor to our needs. Nothing. Not looking to fully automate storage pool management, but something along the lines of having some number of volumes in DISNEW status, that could be enabled via automation - saving that middle of the night call-out, but to follow-up on next business day. Anyone doing anything like this, case to share?
