9. Message UNABLE TO SELECT A TARGET VOLUME FOR DATA SET dataset_name

During the deployment process at the cloned site, the message UNABLE TO SELECT A TARGET VOLUME FOR DATA SET dataset_name, 04 can appear if there is not enough space on the disk.

The deployment process fails, referring to the failing job name and ID for further information.

This can happen when the DFDSS Utility tries to allocate a data set with a different prefix on the original disk and there is not enough space.

To perform a workaround

Edit the IOAFDEXT member in the basepref.INSTALL library, by adding one of the following parameters, after the IMPORT parameter:

(For a non-SMS managed installation)

OUTDYNAM((VolSer1,Unit1)[,(VolSer2,Unit2)])

Examples:

OUTDYNAM((VOL1,3390))

OUTDYNAM((VOL1,3390),(VOL2,3390),(VOL3,3390),(VOL4,3390))

If the data sets of the base environment were allocated using SMS classes, the following parameters must be added:
