Softcopy volume

This volume holds softcopy documents and related data sets.

There can be any number of this type of volume on a system. This is a user-maintained volume and does not contain data sets overlaid by a system replacement.

The recommended types of data sets for this volume are:
  • Documents (books)
  • Bookshelves
  • Bookindexes

The data sets on the softcopy volume are recommended to be SMS-managed. This allows the hierarchical storage manager (HSM) to migrate any unused or infrequently-used data sets or documents.
