After you create a TSE-VOL, the volume is in the blocked
status. To use TSE-VOL, you must format the TSE-VOL LDEV and initialize the volume.
Formatting the LDEV creates six or twelve pages (depending on the volume size) of
control information.
The
Dynamic Provisioning for Mainframe pool that you select to provision a TSE-VOL must be in one of following
states:
- Normal
- Exceeded Threshold
- Shrinking
-
