Hello,
I'm wondering if the VVDS "MUST" be cataloged or not...
All of our VVDS have the following file naming convention :
SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser
And are definied as with this IDCAMS statement :
DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(SYS1.VVDS.Vvolser) -
NIXD VOL(volser) -
Short answer - NO
And it does not have to be cataloged.

Also make sure you really need all of these SMF records and some

Often I saw installation with a large number of unneeded SMF records
