Dave, I agree with Mark; this sure looks like a hardware problem. If CA-1 says the files were created and have data on them; as well as the OS Catalog; then those files better exist on that tape or someone has some serious explaining to do.
One thing to look at is the CA-1 cdate/ctime fields for those files (or look at the AUDIT report) and see if there were any indications as the files were being created (I/O errors, MIH's, anything). Once file-x is created and file x+1 has been created there should be no way to go back and "remove" file-x. Not without also removing all subsequent files. So if it just some intermittent file gaps, you need to analyze the syslog while they were being created. Good luck and let us know what the problem turns out to be Russell Witt CA-1 Level-2 Support Manager -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jousma, David Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: S813-04 Tape errors Mark, That is the direction we are headed with the VTS group. Kinda scary if it is dropping data though..... CA-1 says there are anywhere from 2 - 30 blocks on each of the missing files. I see nothing in common. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
