If the COMMDS points to another COMMDS, the referenced COMMDS is used. This<br />

referenced COMMDS might contain the name <strong>of</strong> an ACDS that is separate from the one<br />

specified in the IGDSMSzz. If so, the name <strong>of</strong> the ACDS is obtained from the COMMDS<br />

rather than from the IGDSMSzz to ensure that the system is always running under the most<br />

recent ACDS and COMMDS.<br />

If the COMMDS <strong>of</strong> the pair refers to another COMMDS during IPL, it means a more recent<br />

COMMDS has been used. SMS uses the most recent COMMDS to ensure that you cannot<br />

IPL with a down-level configuration.<br />

The data sets that you specify for the ACDS and COMMDS pair must be the same for every<br />

system in an SMS complex. Whenever you change the ACDS or COMMDS, update the<br />

IGDSMSzz for every system in the SMS complex so that it specifies the same data sets.<br />

IGDSMSzz has many parameters. For a complete description <strong>of</strong> the SMS parameters, see<br />

z/<strong>OS</strong> MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference, SA22-7592, and z/<strong>OS</strong> DFSMSdfp Storage<br />

Administration Reference, SC26-7402.<br />
