If the datasets on them, have STORCLAS/MGMTCLAS attributes, the volumes are init'd STORAGEGROUP capable. And should already be part of a group, as that would be the likely way the data got there.
Look at the DFDSS CONVERT process if you wish to add a currently non-SMS volume to an SMS STORGRP. I've never gone this route, but I believe it will deal with the missing STORATGEGROUP attribute. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Mark Pace > Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 2:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: DSF INIT STGR > > No vendor products at all.
