Abstract:
The course presents an in depth explanation of the installation,
customization, and maintenance of the Data Facility Storage Management
Subsystem (DFSMS) software in an MVS environment. Defining DFSMS to MVS
as a subsystem, defining DFSMS parameters, data set and DASD related
management are all covered.
This course presents specific techniques on DFSMS design and
configuration to improve the overall MVS environment responsiveness.
Topics include discussion on DFSMS Control Data Sets, writing and
optimizing ACS routines, creation and correct use of Classes and Storage
Groups, interaction with DFSMShsm as well as other DASD subsystem
related software and hardware.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Allow for unique management requirements of individual data sets
under DFSMS
- Understand the connection between the DFSMS Family of DF Products
- Use DFSMS to establish central control over al data allocation
- Create and maintain Automatic Class Selection (ACS) Routines, and
what criteria to look for to optimize the routines
- Understand what is contained within the Data Class, Management
Class, Storage Class, and Storage Group definitions. Defining and
changing the parameters for them dynamically.
- Understand and control the volume selection based on, Space
available, Hardware capabilities, true performance, DFSMShsm
management
- Identify when an exit is required for DASD allocation
- How to reduces DASD Management manual effort
- How to use DFSMS to assists with conversions
- Support user removal of the VOLSER reference from JCL
- How MVS identifies data as DFSMS managed, and to manage both DFSMS
and non-DFSMS data sets within the DFSMS environment
- Design DASD and other device pooling
- Understand, implement, and maintain Object Access Method (OAM) data,
including Optical Library Support
- Support Aggregate Backup and Recovery (ABARS)
- Understand, implement, and maintain Partitioned Data Set Extended
(PDSE)
- Run DCOLLECT
- Understand what information for DFSMS comes from the client or
end user of allocation. What is the appropriate level of
understanding for the client how to appropriately include the client in
DFSMS decision making.
Goals
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Improve the storage subsystem cost-effectiveness
- Improve the associated DFSMS design and services provided
- Prepare for the futures of storage management
