Yes it can. And really should be the way to set up recalls because during maintenance, your primary LPAR doing the recalls may need to down and if you don't have a back up for this function then all your recalls will sit in the queue.

Looks like CRQ is the right way to go since it insures that once a tape has been mounted, it will be used to restore all the files on that tape before moving on to another tape. I can see that this has a downside since a high priority recall can be postponed since it is coming from a different tape (a situation that might not occur with a FIFO if there was the ability to insert the request at the top of the queue). You note that CRQ can restrict which LPAR does the recall. Can it be set to allow more than one LPAR to run the recalls (each with its only tape volume to process). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
