Hello, We have requirement of migrating SAR from told tape drive to new tape less drives. So, when we look at SAR related dataset, which are on tape
SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000092 TARQ51 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000098 TARQ51 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000102 TARQ51 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000093 TARQ52 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000094 TARQ53 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000099 TARQ53 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000104 TARQ53 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000109 TARQ53 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000095 TARQ54 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000105 TARQ54 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000090 TARQ55 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000096 TARQ55 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000097 TARQ56 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000101 TARQ56 if you look at above datasets, we are using 6 tapes for SAR backup currently and when we list content of tape Ex TARQ51, we see only SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000102 TARQ51 dataset which has highest number of time stamp and in my case it was 102 for TARQ51 volume and below dataset not found on tape. SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000092 TARQ51 SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000098 TARQ51 And this is same of other volumes also, like for TARQ53, i couldn't find only SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000109 dataset etc. So, we planned to migrate these available dataset from old tape to new tape less disk sub system using below JCL and dataset gets copied. //OP117SAQ JOB (660),SAURABH,CLASS=A,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID //STEP1 EXEC PGM=SARTCP,PARM='COPYASIS' //*TEPLIB DD DSN=CAI.CVDELOAD,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //TAPEIN DD DSN=SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000093, // DISP=OLD,UNIT=359D,LABEL=(1,BLP),VOL=SER=XARQ52 //TAPEOUT DD DSN=SAR.TARQLTY.SARTAPE.T0000093, // DISP=(NEW,KEEP),UNIT=359D,LABEL=EXPDT=99000,VOL=SER=TARQ52 //SYSIN DD DUMMY Then, we updated SAR parmlib member to use new Esoteric for tape less device and run update Job. But when we run SAR again, it was not able to use new tape less device while archiving reports. Please correct me, if we are following right way of migration.
