This will merely force the recycle to be executed. It (most likely) will delete the volume from HSM (depends on if you are using HSM volume pools). However, if all of the datasets have been recalled, there is no data loss.
HTH, <snip> By using FORCE would I lose the tape? I remember once before I did that and I think it got deleted from HSM. HSEND RECYCLE EXECUTE VOL(xxxxxx) FORCE ? What you have described is usually successful. You might also recall the datasets past the damaged point individually. When all have been recalled HSEND RECYCLE EXECUTE VOLUME(xxxxxx) FORCE This tape should then free up without a mount. HTH, <snip> 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? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
