As Gerhard pointed out in an earlier post, the 3rd byte of the 4 bytes of 
device type info are documented in the UCB macro in the field UCBTBYT3, where 
X'80' denotes a tape device (which corresponds to HSM level 2) and X'20' 
denotes a direct access device (which corresponds to HSM level 1).

Not to my knowledge. For HSM, a migrated data set has serial of 
MIGRAT, then third byte of x'20' for level 1, and 'x80' for 
level 2. IIRC, similar information is available from IDCAMS 
DCOLLECT.
