STORGRP

or

VOLSER

, the volumes

must be placed online.

SCAN

The volumes or the volumes belonging to the SMS storage group, which are specified in the tiering
policy information CSV file, will be scanned in the same way as for the

KTSCAN

command. Then

the detected volume information will be output to the disk configuration definition file.

TIP:

When you execute the

KTIMPORT

command, the following number of data sets are allocated at the

same time:

If you specify the

SCAN

parameter: The number of disk configuration definition files to be updated

#

+ 2
#: The number of disk configuration definition files to be updated is the number of storage systems
to be scanned.

If you do not specify the

SCAN

parameter: 2

Therefore, ensure that the number of datasets allocated at the same time does not exceed the value
of the

DYNAMNBR

parameter of the TSO/E logon procedure or JCL.
