Absolutely
snip
We want to share a few DASD among our four Lpars and have SMS
doing allocation. Each Lpar runs z/OS as a monoplex seperate
from the others. Two are 1.4 and two are 1.7 right now.
We do not have any kind of sysplex. Nor do we have an SMSplex,
whatever that is.
We would update SMS
John,
Would SMS for lpar-P get confused if SMS for lpar-D was allocating
a file on those dasd at the same time she was? Does SMS from one
lpar need to know what SMS from the other lpar is doing?
I don't know if this has changed but SMS tracks space allocations (tables
it somewhere) for
use in
As I understand you don't have sysplex. Several monplexes.
Been There Done That.
We use such transmission storage group without any problems. SMS
routines need *not* to be the same. We also keep UCAT BCS on the group.
What's important: no multi-system GRS (GRS=NONE), disks defined as
SHARED

Thanks to All!
I now
- sharing DASD but not SMS environment
Thanks to All!
I now have a better understanding. Yes, we already run SMS on all four
lpars; Maybe only for USS on TEST lpar.
I will have to check if GRS is required, ring I think.
I have been bitten by that before. A Sysplex might be required for a
Star GRS

We do not have any kind of sysplex. Nor
anyway, why not merge the four separate SMS' in to one
SMSPLEX?
