Hi Dave, What you've mentioned will work. A cyclic automation rule that runs a REXX which does the following: 1. D SMS,SG(ALL) and parse its output (or maybe individual commands for just the SGs you're interested in, to simplify parsing) 2. Check for availability of DISNEW volumes 3. V SMS command to ENABLE the volume https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=command-changing-sms-status-storage-group-volume 4. Email about the performed action and maintain a simple status file
