Timeout! Before this gets into a "my way is the best way" thread, let's agree that Matthew would not actually convert to SMS that way. I thought he was merely mentioning a logical one for one concept. :-)
What *is* important in what Matthew wrote is that Tommy needs to do some more reading. Pooling by size can be nice. Pooling by DASD type used to have applicability, pooling by prod vs. test vs. databases is still done and we can all agree (I hope) that there are a variety of ways to skin the cat. Most are shop dependent.

Don't you have to keep close watch on your PUBLIC and STORAGE storage groups? It sounds like that's the way the OP wants to do it. If you've done it that way, perhaps you can answer his question as to how to distinguish the data sets that would have gone to a storage volume before SMS.
