: [EXTERNAL] automated SMS Storage pool management
All,
I'm sure someone has solved this. I'm now managing DASD management at my
shop. One thing that bothers me is my guys getting off-shift calls because
some active storage pools fall below a % threshold of freespace. We arent
skimpy
Dave, HSM has 2 methods to dynamically address volumes going over threshold:
Interval Migration and On Demand Migration. Interval Migration runs hourly and
processes volumes that went over threshold during the previous hour. The
preferred method is the On Demand Migration technique. With
Don't forget about Quiesced volumes. They aren't used except when
datasets CAN"T be allocated on all the ENABLED volumes. (Large space
amounts). Some people then check volumes and rotate which ones are
Quiesced.

Hi Dave,
Yeah, no disrespect of course.
It's just a reflection of how I read the situation.

On second thought.. sorry, I don't mean gatekeeping.
But rather, a huge disconnect between what the technical team(s) need and the
hiring process/teams & filtering criteria in certain stages.

Years ago, before HSM, I wrote some code to deal with issues like this.
IIRC, it went something like this.
- About 4 times a day a job would run to identify problem packs
(volumes) by relative ranking, noting the 4 worst of each. IIRC, it used
the LSPACE(?) macro.

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
Please do ignore this mail/thread if it seems derailing.
It hurts to see that someone just gets to manage storage at a shop like this.
While at the same time, there's unnecessary gatekeeping on the hiring side,
asking stupid questions and completely ignoring a person's "prior art" and

Thanks Bob, we do have HSM. Sorry, I'm not well-versed in this area. Are
there tools to know when you need to add
