2.2.5 The SMS Address Space

If DFSMS (or SMS) is active at execution time, VCC will
attempt to obtain the storage group name and status for a
given volume by means of a subsystem interface call to SMS.
The storage groups found are reported on the VCC Run Status
Report (refer to Figure 3-3) and placed in the volume summary
record written along with the volume serial number.  As
storage administrators move toward management and reporting
at the volume pool level and away from individual volume
reporting, storage group name becomes the preferred
organizing principle.
