I made a TAPECOPY of an ML2 tape. I don't remember why but a month later I made another TAPECOPY of the same ML2 tape. i assumed that HSM would delete the first one, obviously I'm wrong. I did find a sentence that For duplex tapes only, the tape volume exit ARCTVEXT is invoked, if active, to

criteria during PRIMARY SPACE MANAGEMENT (PSM)

2009-12-03 Thread John Kelly
This is a curiosity question. I noticed that I have one or two datasets daily that get migrated during PSM that have one track and the minimum age (via MgmtClas criteria). There are numerous other datasets that have much larger allocation and longer age that aren't migrated. PSM has no trouble
