|
Hello,
In the redbook "z/OS Version 1 Release 9 Implementation" on page 381 they talk about SMS Volume selection using the SFI "Storage Facility Attribute".
The idea being that Fastcopy and related utilities are much faster if all parts of a multivolume dataset reside in the same SFI.
My question is this :
Where (on an SMS/IODF level) do you code this SFI attribute ?
In a storage group that spans multiple SFIs, how does SMS allocation know which SFI is which ?
What am I missing ?
Many thanks in advance,
Colman. |
