Most likely you have sent a tape that has not been 'marked full' offsite.
A list of your ML2 tapes should confirm this. You might consider checking the backup tapes also.

Willie,

I was hoping someone would answer citing documentation. If they have, I haven't seen it.

Short answer is HSM mounts the last ML2 tape used to satisfy a HMIG / ML2 request. Since you have Duplex = Y for your migrate tapes HSM also wants to mount the alternate. Instruct your operators to reply N to the inevitable Can this tape be mounted msg. HSM will then migrate the dataset and initiate a Tapecopy of the ML2 tape when the migrate is done.

Perhaps someone on the list can suggest a way to prevent the average user from migrating datasets to ML2?

Subject: DFHSM QUESTION - SETSYS PARTIALTAPE(MIGRATION(MARKFULL) BACKUP(MARKFULL))

Good Day To All,

I have this parm coded in the DFHSM STC:
SETSYS PARTIALTAPE(MIGRATION(MARKFULL) BACKUP(MARKFULL))

This partion has DUPLEX option:
SETSYS DUPLEX(MIGRATION(Y) BACKUP(N)

However, for some reason when a user issues a MIGRAT 2 command DFHSM issues a tape mount request for both copies. The problem is that one copy is offsite. Is there a reason why this is occurring?

Thanks.
