Re: HSM Compaction question(s)
David, A few years ago we totally eliminated ML1 and started directing our migration directly to ML2. We just kept the data on ML0 for the same amount of time that we would have had the data on ML0 and ML1 - thus we increased the disk in our storage pools. We also turned off compaction in DFHSM and let the tape controllers do the compaction. One other thing we did was to implement the ARCMDEXT and not migrate datasets that were smaller than 10MB for 100 days. We saw a 38% decrease in DFHSM CPU utilization when we implemented these changes.

Since we have DASD in abundance while CPU cycles are sometimes in short supply, I'm considering turning off compaction to save on overhead. My question to the group is whether the HSM users out there have compaction turned on or not and if yes what is your COMPACTPERCENT setting? Does anyone know of any downsides to turning off compaction, other than a larger ML1 pool?

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - ALTERNATE VOL (AVOL)
John, A duplex tape does not have a TTOC record. Therefore the TTOC display is correct. When we were using TAPECOPY, to keep our duplex environment intact, once a TAPECOPY did complete the TTOC record for the OVOL did show the correct AVOL so I am not sure why your display shows that there is not an AVOL. I would hit up IBM on that one. We have had several issues with TAPECOPY and have since changed our strategy to use RECYCLE to create a new set of tapes. We found this to be a better solution since RECYCLE can get interrupted, for a recall/recover operation, and not have to start over from the beginning of the tape.

You can do a D SMS,VOL(volser) and see if it shows any status at the bottom of the display (you can also see the error status on this display as well). If it says it is in use in the library you will need to get IBM to clear it at the library.

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - ARC1151I :RECALL PROBLEM
Esmie, Your recall should not have failed. Recall should have taken the tape away from the abackup - then the abackup would try to backup any further datasets later. >From the zOS 1.9 DFSMShsm Storage Administration Guide: Function that has the tape - ABACKUP Function that needs the tape - RECALL Result - Recall periodically retries accessing the data set on the tape. If Recall is a WAIT request, after a delay, it initiates a tape takeaway, which causes ABACKUP to skip any remaining data sets that are needed by ABACKUP on the tape and process from other migration and user tapes. ABACKUP later tries to process those data sets that were skipped earlier. You may want to open an issue with IBM and send them your PDA data.

There are a couple of options I can think of.
This will get you a list of all backup volumes that are not full - but only
tape volumes.
HSEND LIST TTOC SELECT(BACKUP NOTFULL) NODSI ODS(output.dataset.name)
This will list all backup volumes - full or not full. Should include disk.

Re: HSM COPYTAPE ML2 Tape unit type confusion
John, When you create a TAPECOPY the dataset created is HSM.COPY.HMIGTAPE.DATASET. Make sure your SMS routines allow this dataset to go to your ATL. That should take care of your issue with copying existing tapes via the TAPECOPY command. Just curious - are you using duplexing to create your DR copy or just copying after the fact? If you have the resources I would recommend using duplexing and create the DR copy at the same time as your local copy.

I have spent a couple of hours on the manual, and I have not been able to find a SETSYS, or other cmd, which will change the default.

I found the following documentation but I am not clear if this is what I want to do. I really only want to run it once per hour on Host C. The performance impact is minimal there. If you want the space check to occur once per hour in each of n hosts, but at a different time after the hour in each host, issue the following patch. Set one field to the number of minutes after the hour when you want the space check to start, and set another field so that the sum of the two is 90. To start interval migration twice per hour requires two hosts. Issue the following patches to start space check on the primary host on the hour and start space check on the non-primary host at 30 minutes after the hour: Primary: PATCH .MGCB.+60 X'005A' /* 90 minutes - default */ Non-primary: PATCH .MGCB.+62 X'001E' /* 30 minutes after the */ /* hour is the time to */ /* do space check */ PATCH .MGCB.+60 X'003C' /* 60 more minutes, to */ /* take us to the middle */ /* of the next hour */ Thanks.

Re: changing management class on about 10000 datasets
Rex, I went through this same process a while back. I changed all of our datasets to new management classes due to a new naming convention we decided to implement. I generated the ALTER commands and issued them 1000 at a time (100 to a step). I had no issues with that process. The only issues I encountered were that the BCDS Backup Version Record (the C record) stores the management class name - thus if a dataset gets recovered from a backup it will get the old management class - and the MCDS Data Set Record (the D record) stores the management class name. These need to be updated as well to allow your space management processes to do the cleanup. I originally altered the management classes in the catalog and then deleted the original mgmtclas'. All of the non-migrated data worked fine but the migrated data took errors during PSM due to the management class being gone. I then went in and updated the C and D records using FIXCDS and that solved the issue. Lots of commands and they will fill up your journal if you are not careful!

Is there some way to change the management class of a number of SMS managed datasets (roughly 10,000 so I don't really want to IDCAMS ALTER all of them)? My situation is that before I got here, the decision was made to use the same management class for test and production datasets. This class has "never expire" set on it. I want to create a new management class for the test datasets that has an expiration date so that since the developers don't clean up after themselves, I can. However, I have about 10K test datasets that still have the production mgmt class assigned to them. The vast majority of these datasets are on ML2 tapes and I would like there to be some way to tell SMS to assign the new mgmt class to all these datasets so they automatically get migrated to the bit bucket. Some of the test datasets are over 10 years old and the developers have agreed that there should be an automatic purge of them (the datasets, not the developers...). >From what I've gathered, the new mgmt class will only apply to new datasets or the old ones if they get migrated or recalled, but I can't mass change these old datasets while they are at rest.

One site had 2-3 space abends a night and needed daily DEFRAGS just to survive. After fine tuning ACC/SRS we were down to less than two space abends a month and reclaimed 20% of the Batch Storgrup.

Re: HSM tape devices selection
Victor, It depends on what you are coding in your rules. If you are talking about the input tape, and it is a VTAPE (I am assuming you are using CA-VTAPE) managed volume, then VTAPE will intercept the EDL and remove everything but drives owned by him. If your esoteric in the HSM parms is pointing to the esoteric VTAPE then only those 8 devices will be on the original EDL. If you are talking about the output tape, for your recycle process, then the EDL will be whatever you have coded in the RECYCLEOUTPUT(MIGRATION() BACKUP()) parm. If it is set to 3490 then all 16 drives will be in the EDL. If it is coded VTAPE then only the 8 drives will be in the EDL. HTH.

Re: HSM Recalls
The HSM migration exit (ARCMDEXT) is what we use to keep smaller datasets from migrating. You can find a sample in SYS1.SAMPLIB(ARCMDEXT). We set the exit up to not migrate any datasets smaller than 10MB for 60 days and to not migrate datasets smaller then 5MB for 400 days. After 60 days we saw a daily 89% decrease in the number of datasets that were being migrated (67,226 down to 7,153) and a decrease of 17% in the number of recalls (2719 down to 2263). The CPU utilization for migration/recall reduced 45%. We did this without having to increase the size of the pools - since the datasets not migrating were so small. This was a win-win situation for us.

Also, I found the note at the bottom about using this new function with Large Block Interface. We don't currently use LBI, but were wondering which of these functions is more beneficial since you can't use both per the note at the bottom. Thanks in advance for any replies. The following address spaces are new in z/OS(r) V1R9: ARCn: One of these DFSMSdss(tm) address spaces is started automatically by DFSMShsm(tm) whenever a dump, restore, migration, backup, recover, or CDS backup function is invoked. (A DFSMSdss address space is not started for recall tasks.) These DFSMSdss address spaces can reduce the storage used in the DFSMShsm address space, enabling more tasks to be started within the DFSMShsm address space. When DFSMShsm invokes DFSMSdss through the DFSMSdss cross-memory application interface, DFSMShsm requests that DFSMSdss use a unique address space identifier for each unique DFSMShsm function and host ID. The address space identifier for each function is in the form ARCn, where n is a unique DFSMShsm host ID and is an abbreviation of a DFSMShsm function. The abbreviations and corresponding functions are: DUMP for dump REST for restore MIGR for migration BACK for backup RCVR for recover CDSB for CDS backup For instance, migration for DFSMShsm host ID 1 would result in a generated address space identifier of ARC1MIGR. The address space terminates automatically when DFSMShsm terminates. NOTE: When z/OS V1R9 DFSMShsm invokes DFSMSdss through the cross-memory interface (ADRXMAIA) so that DFSMSdss can run in its own address space, the DFSMSdss large block interface (LBI) function, introduced by APAR OA13742, is not supported. If you prefer to have the DFSMSdss LBI function rather than the cross-memory function, you can disable DFSMShsm's use of the cross- memory function with the following patch in the ARCCMDxx member of SYS1.PROCLIB: PATCH .MCVT.+433 X'00'. Also, if ARCCMDxx includes the patch PATCH .MCVT.+432 BITS(XX..), where X is a 0 or 1, remove the patch. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Need MASS recall advice
Hi Len. If you submit a bunch of recalls HSM will automatically sort them based on the volser they are on - in other words all of the recalls in the queue, that are on the same volume, will get recalled one after the other. If you use the earlier response of issuing the TSO HLIST LEVEL(whatever.level.qualifier) OUTDATASET(output.dataset.name), you can sort by the physical volser, build the recall commands, submit them to HSM and HSM will get them ordered for you. If you are not using the CRQ then you will need to issue all of the recall commands, for datasets on the same tape, on the same system for HSM to handle it properly - otherwise you will get multiple HSM's contending for the same tape.

John, The IDCAMS manual states (V1R8 section 3.4): Catalog aliases are defined in the master catalog, which contains an entry for the user catalog. The number of aliases a catalog can have is limited by the maximum record size for the master catalog. If the master catalog is defined with the default record sizes, there is a practical maximum of 3000 aliases per catalog, assuming the aliases are only for high-level qualifiers. If you use multilevel aliases, fewer aliases per catalog can be defined. We do a count of each user catalog and if the alias count is approaching 3000 we will create a new user catalog.

Re: Batch Tuning
If you are using HSM you can check your recall activity and see what activity is in your batch cycle. Adjust the management class of these datasets to keep them on disk if possible thus avoiding the delay of waiting for a recall! ThanksRick In a message dated 12/27/2007 3:15:10 A.M.

Re: HSM dump volume migration
Victor, If you are specifically looking at moving your DUMP processing to another media type I do not think there is a way to copy the old dumps to a new media. During our conversions over the years we have just updated the DUMPCLASS to point to the new unit and allow the older copies to roll off. If the old devices are removed before they have all rolled off, or if you have some dumps that rarely get dumped, you can cleanup the old entries using the DELVOL command. FYI - I will be doing a presentation at SHARE in Orlando discussing how we have converted from one technology to another over the last few years. It is session 3033 on Tuesday 2/26/08 at 1:30 pm. If you are attending SHARE stop by!

Re: DFHSM QUESTION - PROBLEM PARTIAL/MARFULL
Willie, You can run a LIST TTOC SELECT(ML2 NOTFULL) ODS(your.output.dataset) This will list all of the PARTIAL volumes. You can then issue a DELVOL volser MIGRATION(MARKFULL) This will make them full to HSM and it will not need to call the secondary copy that is offsite. I would do this before I send tapes offsite each day.

Re: DFHSM CANCEL REQUEST
There are a couple of ways. First, in the HSM parmlib, there is a SETSYS MOUNTWAITTIME(xx), with the xx being in minutes. After the specified amount of time HSM will prompt the operator to reply if the tape can be mounted. The operator can reply N to this prompt and that will cancel the mount and send a message to the requestor that the request failed. Second you can issue a Q ACT(TCBADDRESS). This will come back with a TCBADDRESS for each active task. Then you need to hold the process (recall, recover etc). Once it is held then issue C TCBADDRESS(x'') with being the TCBADDRESS. This will cause the task to abend in HSM and the mount will go away. Then you can release the process. Be sure that you get the right TCBADDRESS!

Re: DFHSM can not allocate tape volume
Art, I have seen this occur when the Batch job gets cancelled but the DFHSMABR task does not.

Re: DFHSM - URGENT HELP
Issue the DEFINE command again but use device type DEVT(X'78048083'). Then try to recall the dataset. If it fails look in the HSM Storage Administration Guide and follow the steps for Case 9 in the Data Recovery Scenarios Chapter (at least that is the case in the 1.8 manual!).
