But what about a real disaster? Would you need to write 3592 tapes? I would think so, and in that case you should certainly have it worked out (and tested) now, not wait until the real thing
>>> Lorne Dudley <[email protected]> 1/13/2010 3:21 PM >>> 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.
