Re: Dummy question on VSAM multivolume

Hello Lizette Thanks for the great explanation I am trying to make the KSDS as multivolume using extended addressability above 4.2G. The KSDS tends to grow in our shop So what would be your suggestion on the allocation for the above scenario. How much should I go for the data and index ? On

Re: Dummy question on VSAM multivolume

- Ok This is one of my buttons PRI = 1000 SEC = 500 The best practice in todays storage arena, is to allocate the small on Primary and Large on Secondary Why - because the primary allocation can take away for the number of secondary allocations that can be made Because the Primary

Re: Dummy question on VSAM multivolume

Hi John Thanks hope the addvol goes same with index components as well. Hope a backup is always a safe idea too before adding volume count ? On Tue 10 Apr, 2018, 11:22 PM John McKown, wrote: > On Tue, Apr 10, 2018 at 12:48 PM, Peter wrote:
