Hello [email protected] !
I talked with my SMS guy.
It turns out that we have never written to 3590-1 tapes during our DR
exercise. We read from them to restore the system with separately
defined non-library drives, but never write, so our SMS routines do not
come into play. (We do a little writing to 3490 tapes.)
As a result of this discussion this will be on our agenda for the next
DR exercise.
Here is part of the code in our current SMS definition.
FILTLIST LIB_TAPE INCLUDE('3590-1') /*Library Tape */
WHEN (&UNIT EQ &LIB_TAPE /* 3590 TAPE */
AND &STORCLAS = 'SCLIBDUP') /* Tape Library SC */
DO
EXIT /* Exit with STORCLAS=SCLIBDUP*/
END
/* */
WHEN (&UNIT EQ &LIB_TAPE) /* 3590 TAPE */
DO
SET &STORCLAS = 'SCLIBDUP' /*Force SCLIBDUP */
EXIT
END
The initial thought from our SMS guy was to disable the allocation of
3590-1 to the ATL at the DR site.
We will be talking about this over the next week or so and we will
definitely be writing to 3590-1 tapes at our next exercise.
Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion.
