Without SMS, you must place critical data sets on selected storage devices in order to improve performance. For example, if you have data sets that consistently require short response times, you place them on DASD volumes that have low I/O rates or that are connected to cache storage controllers. If you have data sets that require continuous availability, you can place them on dual copy, RAID volumes, peer-to-peer remote copy (PPRC), or extended remote copy (XRC). SMS uses storage classes to separate data set performance objectives
and availability from physical storage. It also provides attributes
for the following:
This topic describes storage classes and shows you how to define them through ISMF. Restriction: Duplication
of Library Volsers: DUPT@SMS is an IBM® reserved
name and must not be defined in SCDS by the installation.
With STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS and DISP=OLD and VOL=SER=nnnnnn specified in the JCL, you can access an imported tape outside an automated library for input if you have another tape with the same volser in a system-managed library. |
