Good morning all, We are curious about the reasoning behind the QUINEW status for SMS volume(s). We use DISNEW for SMS volumes that we want to eventually phase out and we discovered there were older volumes that had an existing assignment of QUINEW within some storage groups.
It appears that the status of QUINEW would allow SMS to allocate space on those volumes if needed. I had never heard of that status before until recently when I was cleaning up the different storage pools. Imagine my surprise when I set the volume status of those that had QUINEW to DISNEW and a couple of batch jobs failed. I had to throw a few mod-27’s into the pool to bring up the free space. Apparently, QUINEW works differently then DISNEW and we were wondering about the history and reasoning behind that status? Does anyone know why it was created and to what purpose would it serve, or does it pre-date DISNEW? Thanks up front.
