Possibilities that come to mind: 1) Physical data error on the tape. Proceed as you would for any damaged HSM tape. 2) Label and/or short part of the "front end" of the tape overwritten. Use your favorite TAPEMAP utility to find out where the good data begins. Recall/recover this data and remigrate/backup. Purge the "overwritten" data.
The error message below indicates the MCDS is in "good shape", so you will be AUDITing the tape, not the MCDS. The AUDIT command is generally quite long running. Also, run an "AUDIT" before a "AUDIT FIX" just to be safe. HTH, <snip> Just stumbled onto the AUDIT command in the HSM manual. Has anyone had experience with it ? The problem I'm having is some migration and backup tapes were marked as scratch in error. I modified RMM to make them master again, but these tapes produce this error when I try and recall datasets from them - ARC1001I MOMM.xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.G0709V00 RECALL FAILED, RC=0012, REAS=0000 ARC1112I ERROR READING BACKUP/MIGRATED COPY would an audit of the MCDS correct this ? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
