So, having found that these tapes are a VITAL RECORD,
I found the following VRS: -
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ and HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ has the following: -
Data set mask . : 'HSM.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬' GDG . : NO
Job name mask . :
Count . . . : 99999 Retention type . . . . . : CYCLES
While cataloged . . . . . : NO
Delay . . . : 0 Days Until expired . . . . . . : NO
Location . . . . . : HOME
Number in location : 99999
Priority . . . . . : 0
Release options:
Next VRS in chain . : Expiry date ignore . . . : NO
Chain using . . : Scratch immediate . . . . : NO
HSM.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ has the same configuration.
The RMM implementation and customisation guide says: -
<snip>
To keep all cycles of DFSMShsm control data set and journal backup tapes until
DFSMShsm releases them, issue RMM ADDVRS subcommands as shown: -
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.%CDS.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬') -
COUNT(99999) CYCLES
RMM ADDVRS DSNAME('authid.JRNL.BACKUP.V¬¬¬¬¬¬¬') -
COUNT(99999) CYCLES
</snip>
So these definitions seem to be correct?
