10.17 Is it possible to split an account over volume sets; for example, have GROUP1 on one volume set and GROUP2 on another?

Absolutely. Accounts can be on as many volume sets as you like. Once the account is there, create the group, and make the group's homevs= the desired volset.

You'll save alot of headaches if you pick up the volume management UDCs from Jazz. You just set up the groups/accounts you want on various volume sets in the ACCTUVOL.PUB.SYS control file and then when you do a :newgroup it'll put it on the correct volume for you.

Note that you can "move" a group to a different volume set provided it is empty of files.
