Abstract
DFSMShsm provides space, availability, and tape mount management functions in a storage device hierarchy for both system-managed, and non-system-managed storage environments. DFSMShsm allows you to automate your storage management tasks improving the productivity by
effectively managing the storage devices.
This IBM Redbooks publication provides technical storage specialists and storage administrators with the basic DFSMShsm knowledge for implementing andcustomizing DFSMShsm at the z/OS V1.13 level. Hints and tips on the daily operation, monitoring, and tuning are included. Sysplex environment
considerations are also included.
Those implementing DFSMShsm for the first time will find valuable information for exploiting the DFSMShsm functions. Experienced persons will find that this IBM Redbooks publication can be used as an update to the latest DFSMShsm functions, and it shows how to use those functions in an existing DFSMShsm
