Willie, The problem is not the migrated file, it just happens to be that the tape has a bad spot and it happens to be the spot where this file is physically on the tape; thus, you can't get past it.
You should mark the tape full to keep it from being written to again; Then, you can: 1) just sit and wait until all files have expired; then HSM will delete the tape from your inventory. 2) The tape can also be sent to IBM & they in turn will recover as much data as they can and send you a new tape--this will take a few days 3) you can get a ttoc list of all files on this tape: a) do an hdelete on all of them which in turn will make the tape obsolete & HSM will delete it from its inventory b) then, hrecover each one of these from their corresponding HSM backup. For GDGs, you'll have to do ALTER/ROLLIN for each GDG to attach them to the GDG base Once the tape is obsolete, eject it from your library & get rid of it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of willie bunter Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 11:47 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: QUESTION ON HSM ; BYPASSING DSNS ON A ML2 TAPE Hallo All, I am trying to recycle a damaged ML2 tape. The RECYCLE rolls along however when it hits a particular dsn the recycle terminates. I deleted the migrated dsn (ML2) so as to bypass the problem however it doesn't work. Is there a way of having the RECYCLE bypass this troublesome dsn on the ML2 tape? Thanks for your comments in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
