Rick I believe you might be referring to the fact that SMS will not report on space usage or capacity for the volume in the VLD until the first allocation is done.
What does ISMF say about the volume from the "active" config?

This volume has just been added. The search for volumes is being done with IEFSSREQ. I have a dim (unreliable?) memory about a volume not "showing up" until an allocation has been made to it. Can anyone confirm this assumption? Is there any IBM documentation to this effect. (I have searched DFSMS manuals and the IBM-MAIN archive unsuccessfully.)
