IGD17294I
FAST VOLUME SELECTION IS USED TO ALLOCATE DATA SET dsn

Explanation

This is an informational message that is issued by SMS during creation of a new SMS-managed data set or extension of an existing SMS-managed data set to a new volume. This message indicates that fast volume selection approach is used by SMS to allocate the data set. Fast volume selection is requested via FAST_VOLSEL parameter. For striping allocations, fast volume selection is automatically activated regardless of the specification of the FAST_VOLSEL parameter. When fast volume selection is used, SMS will first select volumes normally until 100 volumes have been rejected for insufficient free space. At this time, SMS issues this message and excludes volumes that do not have sufficient free space in SMS volume statistics from further selection.

Programmer response
