Dynamic volume pooling in data storage management

A computer program product for volume allocation in dynamic volume pooling, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive a job, wherein the job indicates moving one or more data to a pool storage group (PSG), and further wherein the job includes resource requirements, and wherein the resource requirements include a size requirement to store the one or more data and a volume requirement to store the one or more data;
• program instructions to receive a resource availably of the PSG, wherein the resource availability of the PSG includes an available space on the PSG and one or more available volume on the PSG;
• program instructions to determine whether the resource availability of the PSG meets the resource requirements of the job;
• and
• program instructions, responsive to determining the resource availably of the PSG does not meet the resource requirements of the job, to determine whether the PSG has a dynamic pool storage group (DPSG) flag indication on.
