David:

I was assigned the job (many years ago) to speed up the process (we did it weekly) with some tinkering of JCL parameters I think (If I recall correctly) we got it down to 20 minutes (to tape). It wasn't hard.

To each his own but wouldn't an Export/Import be more efficient. There's no additional file to define, no jcl to change or files to rename.

Besides the sample jcl is provided in sys1.samplib(ARCSTRST). HSMPRESS is located at the end of the member.

Subject: Re: DFHSM CDS size versus multi-cluster

Probably needs to be re-orged. Define a "new cluster" shut down HSM (all LPARS) and repro. You will probably be amazed at how small the re-orged dataset will be.

That being said, my DFHSM CDS's are defined as VSAM extended format dataset in a "do nothing" SMS management class and storage group.
Concurrent copy will greatly improve the speed of CDS backups.
Works great.

HTH,

I'm running z/os V1.12 and I've got my BCDS filled with 85%. It's size is
6500 CYLS with no SEC space.
VSAM characteristics are:
SHROPTNS(3,3)   RECOVERY     UNIQUE           NOERASE
UNORDERED       TEMP-EXP     NOREUSE       NONSPANNED

INDEXED       NOWRITECHK     NOIMBED       NOREPLICAT
EXTENDED        EXT-ADDR

In a short time I'll have to create a new BCDS, so, in your opinion what's advisable to have (performance aspect, backup considerations?, etc)??
 1) a bigger BCDS or
 2) multi cluster

Note:
- DFHSM cdss are shared among 3 lpars
