Starting a Storage Pool
The START POOL Command (page 14-133) puts the storage pool into the STARTED 
state.
Considerations for START POOL
•
The storage pool process name must have a configuration record and a definition 
with the SMF master process (as displayed by the INFO or STATUS commands). 
•
TMF must be running on the system. 
•
These objects must be started:
°
The SMF master process ($ZSMS). 
°
The CATALOGLOCATION volume for the MON process (must also be enabled 
by TMF). 
°
The CATALOGLOCATION volume of the storage pool process (must also be 
enabled by TMF). 
•
To take a storage pool process out of the SERVICING state, reset it and start it 
again.
Example
1. Start the storage pool process:
-> START $POOL00
2. Check the status of the process:
-> STATUS $POOL00
