Installation defined storage locations can be used for volumes for disaster or vital records, or for controlling any media moving outside your installation. Using DFSMSrmm installation defined storage locations, you can perform these tasks:

• Define more than three storage locations.
• Use any name up to 8 characters in length to name the storage location.
• Change the movement priority for the installation defined storage locations.
• Continue to use the DFSMSrmm built-in storage locations.
• Select shelf-management or no shelf-management for the installation defined storage locations.
