HSEND LIST TTOC SELECT(FULL) will provide a list of all DFHSM managed tapes and their predecessor/successor volume .
To eliminate tape volx from a chain: volx, volx+1, volx+2.... HSEND LIST TTOC(volx) HSEND LIST TTOC(volx+1) Verify the last dataset listed on volx is the first dataset on volx+1 Recall that dataset to primary dasd. HSEND RECYCLE EXECUTE VOLUME(volx) At the end of the recycle dfhsm will indicate"ARC0260I MIGRATION VOLUME volx ENTRY DELETED" . You can now perform DELETE PURGE if desired. The above must be done for each chained volume. I suggest starting at the end of the chain. That way each recycle will be one volume. Re-migrate the dataset previously recalled if desired. HTH, <snip> The spanning dataset is HSM.HMIGTAPE.DATASET. All the files are kept within the one dataset name. For tapes that are not spanned, then RECYCLE and DELETE PURGE works well. It's these tapes that are stacked 3 & 4 deep that have me confused. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
