Perform the following steps
to define a dummy storage
group.
- Specify DUMMY for storage group type on the Storage
Group Application
Selection panel, as explained in Defining storage group attributes.
This causes
the Dummy Storage Group Define panel to be displayed.
_______________________________________________________________
- Supply a description on the Dummy Storage Group Define panel,
if desired. The description is optional. It can be up to 120 characters.
The SCDS Name and Storage Group Name are output fields containing
the SCDS and storage group names that you specified in the Storage
Group Application Selection panel.
_______________________________________________________________
- Use the END command to save the newly defined dummy storage group
and return to the Storage Group Application Selection panel.
_______________________________________________________________
- Select option 5, Volume, on the Storage
Group Application Selection panel to display the Storage Group Volume
Selection panel, where you can add volume serial numbers to the storage
group. (Initially, the storage group contains no volume serial numbers.)
ISMF
primes the other fields on the Storage Group Application Selection
panel with the most recently specified values. You do not need to
specify a Storage Group Type.
_______________________________________________________________
- Supply values on the Storage Group Volume Selection panel to define
volume serial numbers to the dummy storage group. For more information,
see Defining DASD volumes to a dummy storage group.
