In this example all volumes that were selected through the filtering in the previous panel no longer allow any new allocation on these volumes. But this happens only after the updated SCDS is activated and copied into the Active Control Data Set (ACDS). A way to activate a new SMS configuration is through the ISMF Primary Menu panel with option 8. Under the CDS APPLICATION SELECTION choose option 4 and then 5 to finally perform the change.
To show how powerful, meaningful naming conventions for VOLSERs might be combined with the selection capabilities in ISMF, Example
Example
STORAGE GROUP VOLUME SELECTION
Command ===>
CDS Name . . . . . : SYS1.DFSMS.SCDS
Storage Group Name : XC
Storage Group Type : POOL
Select One of the following Options:
31. Display - Display SMS Volume Statuses (Pool & Copy Pool Backup only)
2. Define - Add Volumes to Volume Serial Number List
3. Alter | - | Alter Volume Statuses (Pool & Copy Pool Backup only) | ||||
4. Delete | - | Delete Volumes from Volume Serial Number List | ||||

Through this approach in utilizing the SMS volume status, the data gradually moves over to the new environment. This is not the fastest approach, but it is the approach with the least effort required. To speed up the process you run DFSMSdss full volume logical copy operations on all source volumes as suggested by the storage administrator, but do not specify target volumes. An example is given in Example
Example
//* COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(AAAAAA,*),D,N' |
|
// COMMAND 'D SMS,SG(SG1),LISTVOL' |
|
//* | *** |
//MOVEDATA EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU |
|
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* |
