POOLDEF command

The pool definition command does not allow the definition of a pool with an owner of SYSHLQ, because the SYSHLQ pool owner is reserved for system use. A site that has private pools defined with SYSHLQ as the pool owner will need to transfer the volumes in those pools to other pools and delete the pools that have SYSHLQ as the pool owner.

Note: See the POOLDEF, LIKEU, and POOLXFR commands in the IBM® Tape Manager for z/VM® User's Guide and Reference for more information on transferring the volumes in one pool to another pool.

The SYSHLQ pools are used in conjunction with the POOLACC command to control the use of specific data set name high-level qualifiers. Refer to the POOLACC command for additional information.
