IGD301I   DATA SET ALLOCATION REQUEST FAILED - DATA SET dsname IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ALLOCATION ON SMS-MANAGED VOLUME volser

Explanation

You specified an SMS-managed volume, but the system was unable to derive a storage class for your data set. A storage class must be specified to allocate a data set on an SMS-managed volume.

Possible causes for this include:
  • The data set is a type that cannot be SMS-managed.
  • The storage class ACS routine over-rode the storage class that you specified.
  • A logic error in the storage class ACS routine prevented it from assigning a storage class to your data set.
In the message text:
volser
The volume serial number.
dsname
The data set name.

System action

The allocation fails.

Programmer response

If the data set does not need to be SMS-managed, specify a non-SMS managed volume and resubmit the allocation request.

If the data set is to be SMS-managed, either modify the data set type so that the data set can be managed by by SMS, or determine an appropriate storage class and resubmit the allocation request. If the storage class selection routine should have selected a storage class for this data set allocation, it may need to be corrected. Contact your storage administrator for assistance.

If the data set is not eligible to be SMS-managed, specify a non-SMS managed volume, do not code STORCLAS and resubmit the allocation request. Not all data sets can be SMS-managed. The following data sets do NOT qualify:
  • Unmovable data sets
  • Data sets with absolute track allocations
  • Tape data sets, except tape data sets on mountable volumes contained in an automated tape library (ATL) dataserver.
The operating system no longer supports the following types of request for any volume:
