Defining SMS Volume

I have initialed a volume as STRG and it is offline.
I added it to an SMS storage group via ISMF
The volume now shows up in the ISMSF storage group.
However, when I vary the volume online the status does not show as SMS.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
Elaine

Did you make it SMS managed? You can do that when you do the ICKDSF INIT

INIT UNIT(1111) -
NOMAP -
VOLID(DDDXXD) -
NOCHECK -
VTOC(0,1,104) -
INDEX(7,0,75) -
OWNERID(IC01) -
NOVALIDATE -
* STORAGEGROUP -*
VERIFY(OF1111)

Or you can use ADRDSSU and the CONVERTV command.

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DVOL1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=338001,DISP=OLD
//DVOL2 DD UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=338002,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *

CONVERTV -
DDNAME(DVOL1,DVOL2) -
SMS -
INCAT(SYS1.ICFCAT.V338002) -
SELECTMULTI(FIRST) -

Hi John,

I used the JCL I have used for years. I thought STGR is the key.

//JS10 EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
INIT UNIT(9836) VERIFY(SSS052) VOLID(SSS052) -
VTOC(0,1,149) INDEX(10,0,45) STGR

Thanks,
Elaine

I missed that somehow. This week has started badly for me up with VTS
problems until 3 am Sunday morning. None since then, knock on wood. That
does look good to me.

Are you looking in the ISMF application on ISPF? Just checking, but did you
ask for SMS information on the VOLUME SELECTION ENTRY PANEL?

Specify Source of the New List . . 1 (1 - Physical, 2 - SMS)

Oh, this is what I see using z/OS operator commands on an SMS volume.


D U,VOL=TD1001
IEE457I 12.26.12 UNIT STATUS 421
UNIT TYPE STATUS VOLSER VOLSTATE
2C00 3390 O TD1001 PRIV/RSDNT
D SMS,VOL(TD1001)
IGD002I 12:26:33 DISPLAY SMS 423

VOLUME UNIT SYSTEM= 1 2 STORGRP NAME
TD1001 2C00 + + SGTSTH
***************************** LEGEND *****************************
. THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS NOT DEFINED TO THE SYSTEM
+ THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS ENABLED
- THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS DISABLED
* THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS QUIESCED
D THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS DISABLED FOR NEW ALLOCATIONS ONLY
Q THE STORAGE GROUP OR VOLUME IS QUIESCED FOR NEW ALLOCATIONS ONLY
THE VOLSER IN UCB IS DIFFERENT FROM THE VOLSER IN CONFIGURATION
SYSTEM 1 = DEV1 SYSTEM 2 = LIH1

Did you add the volume to a storage group that is enabled? volume enabled ?
is this storage group part of an active SMS environment , added via ISMF ALTER storage group to the correct pool?




as Chuck replied, ' Did you active the SMS configuration after adding the volume? Are you looking at the ACTIVE ACDS or SCDS in ISMF?'

Thanks for the responses.
I thought the translate/validate/activate was only for ACS routine updates

Translate, validate is, but since you cannot updated an active SMS environment , you update the SCDS, not active and activate the changes from the SCDS, activate makes those changes to the activate environment

Issue the following command to load the new ACDS:
SETSMS SCDS(scds_name) ACDS(new_acds_name) should be all you need to do
