You can initialize these areas across multiple extents on multiple volumes. For a description of how the operating system handles secondary allocations, see your operating system JCL manual.
If the keyword VOLUMES= is specified with a number value that is less than the number of volumes provided, the INIT function only initializes the number specified in the VOLUMES= keyword. For example, for a DD statement with VOL=SER=(VOL001,VOL002,VOL003), without the VOLUMES= keyword DBUTLTY initializes 1 to 16 extents on VOL001, 1 to 16 extents on VOL002, and 1 (or more) extents on VOL003. But with the VOLUMES= keyword set as VOLUMES=2, DBUTLTY initializes 1 to 16 extents on VOL001 and one (or more) extents on VOL002. Unused extent possibilities on VOL002 and VOL003 are available for dynamic extend.
