Does SYS1.DFSMS.SCDS reflect the status of the active ACDS? To insure getting the correct active data, use the DSN 'ACTIVE'.
Is the volume in question in this storage group? Has the volume been "converted" to SMS? ISMF and the "D SMS" operator command both have options to display the volumes. When do the various dump classes execute? What values have been assigned to the DUMPCYCLE and DUMPSTART operands? "It's not working" is not specific enough for a diagnosis. Does dump processing start? Does HSM generate any diagnostics? Do any of the volumes in the storage group get dumped? Is there any data on this volume? -----Original Message----- From: George Rodriguez Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 10:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DFSMShsm Full Volume Dumps I'm new to HSM, so I don't know everything there is to know, but I've got a real big problem and I need to fix it, hopefully by tonight (I've got storms coming in). When I add a new volume to a storage group (I know how to do that), is there something special that I've got to do to make that volume eligible to a backup? When I look at the storage group using ISMF, and I issue the alter command on the "Line Operators" field it shows the following info: SCDS Name . . . . . : SYS1.DFSMS.SCDS Storage Group Name : PRDEXTAD To ALTER Storage Group, Specify: Description ==> PRODUCTION EXTENDED ADDRESSING (GREATER THAN 4GB) STORAGE ==> GROUP Auto Migrate . . N (Y, N, I or P) Migrate Sys/Sys Group Name . . Auto Backup . . Y (Y or N) Backup Sys/Sys Group Name . . Auto Dump . . . Y (Y or N) Dump Sys/Sys Group Name . . . Overflow . . . . N (Y or N) Extend SG Name . . . . . . . . Copy Pool Backup SG Name . . . Dump Class . . . WEEK01 (1 to 8 characters) Dump Class . . . WEEK02 Dump Class . . . WEEK03 Dump Class . . . MONTHLY Dump Class . . . Allocation/migration Threshold: High . . 85 (1-99) Low . . (0-99) Guaranteed Backup Frequency . . . . . . 1 (1 to 9999 or NOLIMIT) ALTER SMS Storage Group Status . . . N (Y or N) Use ENTER to Perform Verification and Selection; Use HELP Command for Help; Use END Command to Save and Exit; CANCEL to Exit. I thought that by having the Dump Class fields filled in, that would do it. But no it's not working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
