In our environment, I decided not to put ADSM on SMS managed volumes for the
following reasons...

1) Dynamic cache management - ADSM isn't 'cache friendly' so it didn't buy
us anything from a performance standpoint.

2) Archive/backup - again, the use of SMS management classes didn't buy us
anything since we don't allow ADSM files to be archived and backups are only
taken with the ADSM server shut down.

We keep ADSM on its own 3390 non-SMS managed volumes (19 and counting).
 Caching is disabled for all these volumes.

Has anyone had any problems placing the ADSM datasets on SMS managed
volumes.
We
have just installed ADSM onto our test MVS system and have put all the ADSM
datasets (DB, Recovery Log, Storage, etc) on non SMS managed volumes. I have
heard that there may be problems if they are SMS managed, but I never found
out
why.
Please pass on your experiences, good and bad.
Thanks....Dieter
