Greg, how is this an anser to my question? SMS selects my Quiesced volume and 
it is meant to do this, IF the enabled volumes are full. However the enabled 
volumes are not full, but still it goes to Quiesced volumes, secondary lists, 
spill volumes, spill groups or whatever other choices it might have, and I want 
to know WHY.

Kees.

Subject: Re: How often does SMS update its free space information?

We use the Overflow flag on a defined "spill group" for this type of reporting. 
  

>From the Help panel:
Use the OVERFLOW field to specify whether the storage group is an       
overflow storage group, also referred to as Spill storage group.        
Overflow storage groups are reserved storage pools to handle periods    
of high demand for primary space allocations. Volumes in Overflow       
storage groups will be selected for primary space allocation only when  
all the volumes in non-overflow storage groups can not satisfy the      
allocation amount without exceeding the storage group high threshold.   

So our production storgrp is followed by the spill storgrp in the STORGRP 
routine: 
   SET &STORGRP EQ 'PRODSG','SPILLSG'   

When we have data sets allocated on SPILL volumes, we investigate. 

Regards,
Greg

It intentionally Quiesced to accommodate datasets if the other volumes are full 
and report about this situation.
