The SMS Volume Status Display panel shows status information.
- Physical Volume Status
- This field shows the current SMS status of, and the amount of
free space on, the volume. The volume status can be:
- INITIAL
- The volume has been defined to a storage group, but all the
data sets are not yet under SMS control.
- CONVERTED
- The volume is fully converted to SMS.
- NONSMS
- The volume is not under SMS control.
- UNKNOWN
- The status of the volume is not known.
- MB-free
- This is the total number of free megabytes belonging to the
volume.
- % Free
- This is the percentage of free volume space.
Requirement: If you do not specify 'ACTIVE' in the CDS Name field, then the
Physical Volume Status, MB-free, % Free and MVS Vol Status fields
display dashes. The space information only exists for a volume if
the volume has at least one SMS-managed data set allocated on it.
- SMS Vol Status
- This field shows the relationship between the volume and SMS.
The six possible relationships are:
- DISALL
- SMS does not permit data sets on this volume to be accessed.
- DISNEW
- SMS does not permit the allocation of new data sets on this
volume.
- ENABLE
- SMS permits access to data sets on this volume.
- NOTCON
- SMS does not attempt to access this volume.
- QUIALL
- SMS does not schedule any more jobs that access data sets on
this volume.
- QUINEW
- SMS does not schedule any jobs that create new data sets on
this volume.
- MVS Vol Status
- This column shows relationships between MVS and the volume whose
status is being displayed. Possible relationships are:
- BOXED
- A status encountered when an application cannot disconnect from
a malfunctioning volume. BOXED means that MVS is simulating I/O errors
in response to the application's I/O request.
- NOTREADY
- The volume cannot send nor receive I/O now.
- OFFLINE
- I/O is not possible because the storage management subsystem
cannot find the address where the volume's VOLSER is mounted.
- ONLINE
- The volume is physically connected to MVS; I/O can proceed.
- PENDOFF
- (Pending Offline) MVS varies the volume offline as soon as persons
currently accessing data sets on it have disconnected from it.
