There is no safe way to do this with the use of *RESERVE* (or CA-MIM). This is the source of you VTOC errors, etc.
USE RNLDEF RNL(EXCL) for relevant QNAME, RNAME, and Volume. Suggested Queues are SYSVTOC, SYSZVVDS as a minimum. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of PINION, RICHARD W.

Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 9:30 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: IBM GRS Monitor report We ran IBM's GRS Monitor batch reports and noticed something in one of the reports. Notice the second entry, it has a x'004D'. The reason this is interesting to us is because we are sharing this particular volume between two systems. The second system is not in the GRS Star configuration of the first system. We are using RESERVES to protect the integrity of the resources. And this particular volume has encountered errors, i.e. VTOC entries but no SMS NVR records. And yes, this volume is in a SMS SG which is defined to the two systems. ** RESOURCES USAGE REPORT ** ---------------------------------------------------- ** MAJOR SYSZVVDS ** --------------------- COUNT MAJOR 00008260 SYSZVVDS SCOPE=RESERVE SMFID=DEVA RNL (ML) COUNT MAJOR MINOR 006 00000032 SYSZVVDS TS0007 008 00000004 SYSZVVDS TS0007 ( FIRST TENNESSEE Confidentiality notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
