3.4.2 Modifying a Volume Group Table

After creating a volume group table, you must then modify it
to make all the Volume Group names accurately reflect the
groupings.  To modify the table, select the Work Data Set
Maintenance option from the StorageMate options menu.

The system displays a screen that prompts you to select a
table name.  The name of the last Volume Group Table you
created or used should appear elsewhere on this screen for
your information.  You can enter the name of the table you
want to edit, or leave it blank to get a list of all the
members within your Work Data Set.  From that list you can
then select the table name to be updated.

When you have selected a table to update, CA MICS StorageMate
places you in ISPF edit mode.  You can modify the table as in
any ISPF edit session.  Overtype the default pool name for
those volumes in which the default Volume Group name does not
apply, replacing the default with the proper Volume Group.
If you have a large number of volumes to be grouped and they
all start with the same prefix, place an asterisk (*) after
the prefix on the first one and then delete the other entries
with that same prefix.  You will then have identified all the
volumes of that prefix with the associated Volume Group.

There are no right or wrong names when assigning Volume
Groups.  These names have no relationship with any existing
MVS or SMS names (with the exception of Storage Group), and
are simply used to make Volume Group reporting possible.  The
Volume Group names you assign should be meaningful to you,
but need not match another name within your environment.
When your updates to the Volume Group Table are complete, use
the END PF key or the END command until you return to the
CA MICS StorageMate options menu.
