We have requirement from customer to have EAV volumes on z/OS 1.12 systems.
Below are the step, I followed for this configuration. *a) Software requirements:* Extended address volumes require z/OS V1R10. *b) Hardware requirements:* A Licensed interal code (LIC) upgrade to an IBM DS8000 is needed so that an EAV can be configured in the storage subsystem. *c) *Allow SMS to select extended address volumes during its volume selection processing. Set the USEEAV parameter in the IGDSMS*xx* PARMLIB member to YES: USEEAV(YES). d) In the IGDSMS*xx* PARMLIB member, specify an optional break point value for SMS to use when making volume selection decisions for VSAM data sets. On the BreakPointValue parameter, specify a number of cylinders (0-65520). Do we have any other steps, which I am missing before I use these EAV volumes like, any thing has to be done on IODF side or something else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
