Initialization restrictions

If SMS-managed storage classes are used for initialized areas and the defined cluster spans the area across multiple volumes, you must allocate the area to a guaranteed space storage class.

The initialization function will not format any portion of the area that resides on a candidate volume.

Note

If you use the CONFIGURE_AREA, CONFIGURE_IOVF, CONFIGURE_RAA or CONFIGURE_SDEP keyword with the ALLOCATE subcommand to dynamically define the area for an INITIALIZE process, you should not allocate the area to a guaranteed space storage class. If you do so, the guaranteed space storage class overrides the configuration specifications.
