<snip> This just came up. I've taken a fast look in the manual, but haven't seen anything. Is there a way in DFSMShsm on z/OS 1.8 to segragate the migrated datasets onto separate tape volumes, based upon the STORCLAS or STORGRP assigned to the migrated dataset? What we want to do is to have a separate set of tapes so that when we duplex them for D.R., we can reload the production ML2 tapes.
Hum, perhaps I should mention that our ML2 tapes are kept in our VTS. We "duplex" them to physical tapes using a product from OpenTech called VDR. So, we want to segregate the data on the virtual ML2 tapes, then use VDR to make copies to different sets of physical tapes so that at D.R. we can first reload the virtual ML2 tapes to the D.R. VTS which contain the production data. </snip> I can't think of any easy way to do this. DFHSM has some exits, but I do not know if they can do anything beside say yea or nay to the migration actions that are passed to them. If you are talking about segregating the ML2 virtual volumes on backend carts from the "other" virtual volumes on backend carts, this is a VTS function, not a DFHSM function. This is fairly straightforward using an STK VTS (see MVCPOOL and MGMTCLAS). Once the backend tapes are segregated, the physical DR copies will automatically be segregated as well. I cannot speak to the IBM ATL/VTS solution since I don't have the IBM equipment or DFSMSrmm.
