B.2.3 Storage Group

One Storage Group, SGDBARCH, was added for all archive log data sets of the three DB2 subsystems. Three disk volumes, RV1CU0, RV2CU0, and RV3CU0, were defined to the Storage Group as shown in Table 33 on page 193.

Figure 130 on page 193 shows an extract of the extended Storage Group ACS routine used in the previous test case, now incorporating the archive logs.

B.2.4 Data Set Allocation Results

ISMF Test cases were built and executed against both the updated SCDS and

ACDS, producing the expected results.

After the new SMS configuration was activated, the following MVS command was issued using SDSF to generate new archive logs:

=DB2P ARCHIVE LOG MODE(QUIESCE)

Figure 131 on page 193 displays an extract of the subsequent MVS SYSLOG messages issued.
