GLO3146E AVS not performed - unable to locate suitable candidate volume(s)-xxxxx -ssys.

Explanation

While Advanced Allocation Management was performing AVS processing for a non-SMS VSAM cluster component, it was unable to locate candidate volumes to fulfill the requested number of volumes for the data set based on the chosen AVS algorithm. The volume list for the component is emptied, which results in an IDCAMS DEFINE failure to prevent the allocation of the data set. xxxxx is the VSAM cluster component type (DATA or INDEX), and ssys is the Advanced Allocation Management subsystem identifier.

User response

Verify the following items:
  • A volume group, unit name list, or volser list was specified in the rule definition for the allocation
  • Specified volume groups are defined in a volume group definition
  • Enough space exists in the specified volumes, based on the chosen AVS algorithm
