Mysteries of the Storage Group (part 4 of our series on “The Mysteries of SMS”)
Tuesday, June 29th, 2021 at 11:00am EDT / 10:00am CDT
Of the four major SMS constructs, the Storage Group is one of the most important, and at the same time one of the most misunderstood. The Storage Group sits at the boundary between datasets, volumes, and storage managers such as DFSMShsm and FDRABR, critically affecting the use of each. There are seven different types of storage groups, each having different attributes and each appropriate for different types of data. The storage group definitions have an important impact on reliability, including on the availability of free space in the system and the placement of datasets on volumes. In this month’s webinar we’ll discuss the role that Storage Groups play in DFSMS and the best practices for defining and using them.

Attending a Webinar:

The DTS Webinars use GoTo Meeting™ software from Citrix Online, LLC. After registration, DTS will email you a meeting ID. Shortly before the scheduled DTS Webinar, you will receive an email with a unique link.

You do not need to pre-install any software prior to joining the meeting. The GoToMeeting web interface uses a Java Applet in your browser for the video portion of the meeting. A phone number will be provided for the audio stream. Note: You will participate as a guest of DTS Software – there is no cost to you or your company except for telephone charges.
