I just read DFHSM Admin Guide and section "Converting Partial
Tapes to Full Tapes" and I am more confused than ever.
I know that DELVOL MXXXXX MIGRATION(MARKFULL) will mark a volume
full. But that requires reading an HSM listing and creating commands to
mark them all full. I have tried SETSYS PARTIALTAPE(MIGRATION(MARKFULL))
but that does NOT immediately mark a tape full. (there is a cryptic
message that it marks them full after a "FEW" cycles.... whatever that
might mean). And the tapes must be marked full for TAPECOPY to select
those tapes. So, is creating a REXX to read the list and do DELVOL ...
MARKFULL the way to get all of the ML2 tapes into FULL status so that I
can make my copies with TAPECOPY? or is there a better way?
