Do not forget that most scheduler's have a way to trigger jobs by messages. You could have your scheduler trigger a email job if you have email or at least send a message to the console saying to call one of the storage group folks.

However with tools like Tivoli Omegamon, CA-SYSVIEW, CA-Vantage, CA-GMI, IBM RMF, or other like tools, probably. Or if you have CA-PDSMAN, VTOC Tool from CBT TAPE, you could have jobs that run hourly that you program your process to do the alerting. We have hi and lo water marks set in certain pools in DFSMS and then use OPS/MVS to capture any IGD17380I message to send our storage group an alert.
