I Just want to move some free volumes from TESTB to TESTA group. As per all the hints that you have provided, I tried for a single move, it worked. Thanks ALL for your assistance.

The volume must be empty, however, as described on this page of the DFSMSdfp Storage Administration manual: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2s2a1/13.7?SHELF=ALL13BE9&DT=20120126150025 When you delete a DASD volume from a storage group, first set the volume status to DISNEW. This prevents any new allocations to the volume while allowing existing data sets to still be accessed with DISP=SHR, DISP=MOD, or DISP=OLD. Move any data that you do not want converted to non-SMS from the volume. Next, if the DASD volume is to be reused as a non-SMS-managed volume, run a DFSMSdss NONSMS CONVERTV to convert it out of SMS. Finally, remove the volume from the storage group. To remove DASD volumes from a storage group, select the Storage Group Application Selection panel. Specify the CDS name and the storage group name that contains the volumes you want to delete. Press Enter to get the Storage Group Volume Selection panel. From the Storage Group Volume Selection panel, indicate the volumes you want to delete in the SPECIFY A SINGLE VOLUME (in PREFIX), OR RANGE OF VOLUMES field, select option 4, and press Enter. Be careful when moving or removing a volume from a storage group because the volume could contain part of a multivolume data set. The changes take effect when you activate this updated configuration. To prevent DFSMShsm from attempting to allocate to volumes which have been deleted from the storage group, issue the DFSMShsm DELVOL command from all DFSMShsm systems which are aware of the deleted volume. After deletion, the DASD volume is only eligible for non-SMS allocations. However, if you are reassigning the volume to another storage group, you need to define the volume to the storage group and then activate the updated configuration. Greg Shirey Ben E.

You look it up in chapter 3 "Wait state codes" of the MVS System Codes manual. For 0A2 it says: "Cross-system coupling facility (XCF) or cross-system extended services encountered a non-recoverable error and stopped the system. The system also issues this wait state in response to an operator request to stop the system. See z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Reference for information on diagnosing sysplex problems."

PSW error during IPL
Hi All, We IPL'ed our system and we are facing an issue on bringing up the system with the PSW error. "Central processor (CP) 0 is in a nonrestartable stopped state due to a System Control Program (SCP) initiated reset of the I/O interface for partition LPAR4. The disabled wait program status word (PSW) is 0002800040a2." Can anyone please guide me to resolve this issue.

Subject: Re: TSO Logon region size increase
Hello Vinoth, here is a method that I have used in the past to change this
value for all users that currently have a TSO segment.
1. Obtain a list of all user ACIDs that have a TSO segment. The TS database
unload can be used to create this list. If you need further advice on this
task let us know.
2. Once the list is obtained in a dataset, FB-80, ACID in columns 1-8 create a
small DF/SORT job.
//step1 exec pgm=sort
//sysout dd sysout=*
//sortin dd dsn=your.list.of.TSO.users,disp=old
//sortout dd dsn=your.new.list.of.tss.commands,disp=(new,catlg,)
//sysin dd *
sort fields=copy
outfil outrec=(c'tss add('
01,08,c') ',
c'tsolsize(8m)'
50xfill to 80 ??
3. execute the output file.
P.S. Please double check syntax of the TSS ADD command, I'm keying from memory.
