What is the difference between primary and secondary
allocations for a dataset?
Answer Posted / jignesh patel
The primary allocation is the space units given to the
empty new dataset initially. Though primary & secondary
spaces are allocated during defination it wont allow the
dataset to use the secondary allocation till the time
primary allocation fully acquired by the data of that
dataset.
As mentioned above, dataset uses the primary & secondary
spaces in the sense of EXTENT mode. the memory allocated is
virtually departed in the 16 extents. System can allocate
primary + secondary*16 space units in the best case.
