We ran IBM's GRS Monitor batch reports and noticed something in one of the reports. Notice the second entry, it has a x'004D'. The reason this is interesting to us is because we are sharing this particular volume between two systems. The second system is not in the GRS Star configuration of the

some products or utilities will reserve the volume but if you are not in the same MIM PLEX or GRS, I think you're taking a big chance, I'll assume this volume is not a critical, or I'd hope a non critical volume and does not contain any PDS/E's or PDS/E sharing is turned off for that system .

It's a long story. But yes we are doing this. The ACDS, COMMDS, and SCDS are not shared. The second system's ACDS and SCDS were derived from the first system's ACDS and SCDS. It was our thinking, perhaps we are wrong, that hardware reserves would protect the integrity of the volume. Using
