When you allocate DASD for new minidisks, CA VM:Secure searches only the subpool that you request by name for available space. However, you can have CA VM:Secure search several subpools at the same time by requesting that it search categories of subpools. The categories can vary over time because they are based on the subpool definitions you include in the VMSECURE MANAGERS file; if you change the subpool definitions in that file (for instance, if you change the subpools that a directory manager can allocate from), these keywords specify different subpools.
CA VM:Secure searches a subpool list according to the order in which the MANAGERS file lists the subpools. Because you can change a manager’s subpool list dynamically and the order of subpools (SUBPOOL records) in the DASD CONFIG file, you can change the search order dynamically.
