Don't keep searching for something that isn't there and shouldn't be.
Placement of the files on volumes is a decision for os/390 and dfsms.
Consult with your mvs storage managers about ACS routines to control
placement.  But this may not be necessary either.  Inquire about including
your files in an ABARS run.  Also, find out when DFHSM will be active at the
disaster site. If you get your drm files backed up by dfhsm, you can restore
them from the dfhsm backup tapes.

In a well run os/390 system, you shouldn't have to worry about volumes. --
