My suggestion - run in trial mode for a very long time - we found many software vendor's products are NOT EAV compliant (and some say they have no plans to be) - we needed to know this so we could isolate non-compliant software S DASD use to a pool of volumes where EAV would not be employed

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 The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain CONFIDENTIAL material.
