Willie,
John has you looking in the right places.
I would first find out what the allocation request was. Was it something
'wrong' like 4000 Cylinders? z/OS 1.6 gives the KB of the request.
Did the volumes enabled have the space available? Suspect not if you are
allocating into the overflow pool.
Hallo,
I am displaying the status of a SMS managed volume. Can it be possible if
there could be more than one type of staus it could be in. By this I mean can
it be in enabled status as well quiesced as well. Below is my display of
the volume

Willie,
Disregard my last note. Volumes SZA901, SZA902, SZE901 and SZE902 are
always
on the primary list unless the utilization plus the primary allocation
amount will cause the utilization to exceed the high threshold. The
remaining volumes in PRIMSG01 will be presented on the secondary list
when
John,
Thanks for your help. Last question. How would I check via ISMF if the
primary pool has an overflow pool? In the job that I am rerunning it indicates
the overflow storage group (see below) however, if it the job fails before the
allocation of the storage group I wouldn't be able
Willie,
How would I check via ISMF if the primary pool has an overflow pool?
Go to storage group panel (6) and pull up a list of your storage groups.
Column 42 will have the
name of the storage group that you use for overflow or will contain dashes
if there is no
overflow storage group.
Are you
Thanks John for your help and advice. No, I am not assigning any storage
groups yet. It is just that I am supporting multiple mainframe environments
and I am trying to trouble shoot the problems. If you have any other tidbits
that I could use, please feel free to advise me.

Willie,
You're welcome. There was an info apar in IBMLINK that described the gory
details
of how volumes were selected for or omitted from the primary candidate list
but I
can't find it. If you have access to IBMLINK, maybe you can find it.
Regards,
John
