So, I am having an issue with DFHSM Backup tapes. I tried opening a PMR and
the first thing I get back is, "z/OS 1.13 is an unsupported release, and you
don't have an extended contract".....
Anyway, thought I would send this to see if anyone else has seen this issue.
When I list the backupvolumes, I have a list that looks like this:
- DFSMSHSM CONTROL DATASET - BACKUP VOLUME-- LISTING ----- AT 07:37:16 ON
17/07/12 FOR SYSTEM=MVSD
VOLSER DEVICE BACKUP VOL TOTAL FREE THRESH LAST BACKUP PSWD
EXP RACF EMPTY IDRC DUPLEX PCT

YES NO NO Y *NONE* 54.8
S00170 3590-1 DAILY YES ******** ******** *** 17/04/21 NO
YES NO NO Y *NONE* 96.6
So, if you notice the second and third tapes on the list S00015 and S00043, you
will see the last backup date in 2008.
You will see that they are 20.0 and 25.0 PCT full. So, I tried a RECYCLE
DISPLAY specifying a percentage of 40%.
I get the following:
RECYCLE BACKUP DISPLAY PERCENTVALID(40)
ARC0830I RECYCLE COMMAND PROCESSING STARTING
ELIGIBLE VOLUMES: 040%
LEGEND:
'*' INDICATES EMPTY TAPE
S00071 S00170 S00191 S00255 S00480 S00487 S00597 S00602
S00632 S00697 S00739 S00795 S00969 S00991 S01461 S01464
END OF DISPLAY OF VOLUMES ELIGIBLE FOR RECYCLE
ARC0831I RECYCLE COMMAND PROCESSING ENDING
So neither of these volumes show up on the recycle listing. So, I took the
S00015 and did a manual recycle and
it worked just fine. Anyone have any thoughts.
