DASDVOL limitations

z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration
SC23-6868-01

DASDVOL access authority is not supported for logical operations on SMS-managed data sets, nor does it let you define discrete profiles. For DFSMSdss to define or rename discrete profiles, you need the authority to do so.

While DASDVOL access authority to a non-SMS-managed volume lets you move, copy, dump, or delete a catalog, you do not automatically have access to the data sets that are cataloged in it. Also, for certain operations (such as CONVERTV on an SMS-managed data set), an authorization check is performed to see if the data set owner is authorized to use the applicable MGMTCLAS and STORCLAS routines. This is true even if you have DASDVOL access authorization.

For more information about discrete profiles, see Copy and data set profile considerations and Restore and data set profile considerations.
