We have a few small z/OS 1.9 images which have no tape access and use
HSM to backup the data to a 3390 mod 27. Here's the DASD related parms
we use for HSM.

Subject: HSM DASD Backup volumes
I'm setting up HSM to backup to DASD instead of tape.
I can't figure out how best to set up the disks though; whether to have
a (increasingly?) large number of daily backup volumes like I did with
the tape volumes, or a small amount of daily backup volumes and a
(increasingly?) large number of spill volumes?
If I have a small number of daily backup volumes, how many do I put in
it? Enough to contain just a day's worth of backups? Enough to have one
volume per running backup task?
Are there any performance considerations to take into account? Anything
else to consider?
Thanks in advance
Brian
