IBM DS8000 Example 14-8 Select SMS storage group in Scds, Storage Group Application Selection

Example 14-7 Execute SMS modify commands through pre-defined job

//DISNEW JOB ,' DISABLE NEW ',MSGCLASS=T,CLASS=B,

//MSGLEVEL=(1,1),REGION=0M,USER=&SYSUID /*JOBPARM S=VSL1

//COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(HHHHHH,*),D,N'

//COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(JJJJJJ,*),D,N'

//COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(KKKKKK,*),D,N'

//COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(LLLLLL,*),D,N'

//COMMAND 'V SMS,VOL(MMMMMM,*),D,N'

//COMMAND 'D SMS,SG(SG2),LISTVOL'

//* --------------------------------------------------------------	***
//STEP1	EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//

This SMS modify command approach has a drawback: It holds only until the next IPL. Then SMS will read again what the volume and SG status is from the respective Source Control Data Set (SCDS) and will reload the Active Control Data Set (ACDS) accordingly. To make this change permanent you have to change the SCDS through ISMF panels or execute jobs through NaviQuest to change the SCDS.

We go briefly through the ISMF panel sequence to make the SMS volume status complete and permanent.

Example 14-8is the first ISMF Storage Group Application panel where you choose the actual SCDS, the storage group, here XC, and select option 4 to alter the SMS volume status.
