Hi Support,
We see excessive SVC 99 errors in Vantage started task (SAMS). I might be wrong, but looks like not all storage pools are defined in the parmlib.

The INCLEXCL Vantage parmlib member is needed and should define filters to exclude volumes that the various Vantage components try to access via the Vantage DTOC scan. Here is a sample of the components to modify with example filters:
START-EXCLUDE-VOL Online Volumes
EXCL=PBS/
EXCL=PNG/
..
START-DTOCVEXC-VOL DTOC Volumes
EXCL=PBS/
EXCL=PNG/
..
START-DUPEDSNS-VOL Duplicate Data Sets (Volumes Checked)
EXCL=PBS/
EXCL=PNG/
..
START-VSAMVVDS-VOL VSAM Data Set Attributes (Volumes Checked)
EXCL=PBS/
EXCL=PNG/
Here is some documentation describing the INCLEXCL Vantage parmlib member (see section 'INCLEXCL - Local PARMLIB Member'):
