No my TCDB is okay, so both CA-1 and OAM know that the tape is private and where it is. My problem is with MVS. Define nonvsam makes it a non-sms entry in the MVS catalog and when I try to run the Alter command to roll it back into the gdg base, it fails and tells me I can rollin an non SMS dataset. Gives me the IDC3195I message:
IDC3195I OBJECT IS NOT SMS MANAGED Explanation: An access method services ALTER command requested that a generation data set (GDS) be rolled in, but the GDS is not managed by the storage management subsystem (SMS). Thoughts?

I.e. the SMS Tape Control Data Base, which is usually name SYS1.VOLCAT.VGENERAL. I would bet that they are not. So you must run a ALTER command. We do this a lot at DR and have a REXX program: /* REXX */ PARSE ARG INVOL "ALTER V"INVOL" VOLENT STORGRP(SGRTAPE2) ", "LIBNAME($ATL0002) LOCATION(LIBRARY) UATTR(PRIVATE)" //.. idcams jcl %ALTERVOL volser /* //* ONE PER VOLUME SERIAL. I bet your DEF NVSAM is OK. One that I have is: DEF NVSAM(NAME(TSHPG.CICSMGR.P8.DAILY.HISTORY.G2422V00) - DEVT(3490) - VOL(238263)) ALTER V238263 VOLENT STORGRP(SGRTAPE2) - LIBNAME($ATL0002) LOCATION(LIBRARY) UATTR(PRIVATE) You need both. I am not sure, but you might be able to get away with doing the DEF NVSAM, followed by a CTSSYNC from CA-1. I'm not sure.
