Hi, Did you happen to see any errors with reading the VTOC copy data set?
From the Storage Admin: "DFSMShsm uses the latest VTOC copy data set to recover the volume unless an error occurs in allocating or opening the latest VTOC copy data set. If the error occurs, DFSMShsm attempts to recover the volume, using the next latest copy of the VTOC copy data set. If a similar error occurs again, the volume recovery fails." You indicate that you only have one VTOC copy. Does the date correspond to the Week 2 Dump date? I wasn't able to find any other logic that would cause HSM to recover data from the Week 1 VTOC copy. If the above don't apply, then a pmr could be opened to analyze the situation.
