Before you begin: You must specify Y for DEFINE SMS Storage Group Status on the Pool Storage Group Define panel, as described in Defining a pool storage group.

Perform the following steps to define pool storage group status.

1. Supply values on the SMS Storage Group Status panel,

   System/Sys Group Name

   Lists the system or system group names you defined in the base configuration.

   SMS SG Status

   Lists the relationship between the storage group and each system in the SMS complex. You can specify the statuses, which are explained in Defining system access to pool and VIO storage groups.

2. Use the END command to save your values and return to the Pool Storage Group Define panel.

3. Use the END command again (on the Pool Storage Group Define panel) to save the pool storage group. This returns you to the Storage Group Application Selection panel.

After establishing the relationships between your storage group and the systems in the SMS complex, you need to define DASD volumes to the storage group. For more information, see Adding volumes and defining the SMS volume status.
