HSM will do the checking for you to minimize the number of tape mounts. No need to sort. IIRC, it will also sort the datasets by block addr to minimize rewind time.
HTH, <snip> This should be an easy question. I want to recall 5000 datasets. Do I still need to 1) List all datasets from an HLIST 2) Sort that list on the Migrate Volser 3) Send in the recalls based on the collection of datasets based on which migrate volume they are on? Or can I enter all of the requests and HSM is smart enough to know to recall all of the datasets from the same tape and not mount tapes as it reads the DSNs in FIFO? </snip> The helpful manual is not really helping.
