This SMS modify command approach has a drawback: It holds only until the next IPL. Then
SMS will read again what the volume and SG status is from the respective Source Control
Data Set (SCDS) and will reload the Active Control Data Set (ACDS) accordingly. To make
this change permanent you have to change the SCDS through ISMF panels or execute jobs
through NaviQuest to change the SCDS.
We go briefly through the ISMF panel sequence to make the SMS volume status complete
and permanent.
Example 14-8 is the first ISMF Storage Group Application panel where you choose the actual
SCDS, the storage group, here XC, and select option 4 to alter the SMS volume status.
Example 14-8 Select SMS storage group in SCDS
