Good Morning To All,
I have a problem with a SMS managed storage pool which is increasing quite
rapidly. In this pool there is no ML2 migration . We have Auto Migrate Auto
Backup turned on and INTERVAL MIGRATION.
Below is the THRESHOLD which we are using for this pool.
Migration will begin when the SG occupancy exceeds the high threshold and
continue until less than the SG low threshold, or no additional datasets are
eligible for migration.
This is subject to additional constraints specified in the MGMTCLAS for
migration eligibility.
IMO your low thresholds
Although there may be some 'success' stories the issue I have with most

The RECEIVE updates SMP/E datasets, and may create some new ones. But it does
