Has anyone asked why the original poster has 2 SMSPlexes? His cleanest solution might be to merge the 2.
Sounds like he has at least some shared DASD - in a previous incarnation, we had a similar situation and I did NOT want 2 SMSPlexes controlling volumes. So I 'merged' the code - basically I took the 2 pieces of code & surrounded them with checks for the SysID. If (SYSID1 or SYSID3), then fall into this code segment, if not fall into the 2nd piece. Then I moved all the construct definitions into the same SCDS - the only issue I had was there were a couple of constructs with the same name on both sides. I resolved that by merging the constructs and using what ever criteria gave the most service, i.e. - if the MgmtClas on 1 side said migrate after 7 days and on the other side said 15 days, I gave the 'merged' MgmtClas 15 days. StorGrps with the same name, I just renamed one. The StorGrps were still owned & managed by the original LPAR. I put the shared COMMDS & CDS's on shared DASD. We use GRS. There were a few steps ahead of SMS, like I merged the catalog environments - my choice, I think I could have gotten SMS to work anyway. Since then I've re-written the code so that we truly have 1 SMSPlex. ************************************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
