Could be a flawed search depending on your system configuration (i.e., 
initialized accordingly, but not present in all your SMS control data sets, 
etc.).  Not sure about ISMF reflecting how a volume was initialized, but 
perhaps IDCAMS DCOLLECT then evaluating output record structures like DCVPHYST 
(physical status) and DCVSGTCL (storage group name) could provide what you are 
looking for.

Subject: ISMF usage (STGR but not in an SG) (UNCLASSIFIED)

All,

Is there a simple ISMF method to identify volumes that were initialized using 
the ICKDSF STGR keyword but are not defined in a CDS?

As far as I can tell, I can display all volumes that SMS knows about (if CDS 
name and/or SG-name are provided) or I can see all volumes, whether SMS knows 
about them or not (if CDS name and SG-name are both blank). In the latter case, 
the physical data column (22) indicates CONVERT/INITIAL if the ICKDSF STGR 
keyword was used BUT that doesn't mean that the volume is actually defined to 
any SG.

This is a simple matter with QuickRef option S: SMS-Ind (11) specifies YES and 
Storage-Group (13) is blank, indicating a volume that has the STGR flag on but 
is not defined in any SG.

Does ISMF provide a means to accomplish this too?

Thanks,
Alan
