Re: HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
Thanks to all for the input.. The solution, whether right or not... REPRO the OCDS and MCDS to a flat file.. edit them and change the 3490 device type to my VTAPE esoteric.. del/def the CDS's and REPRO back in.. I am holding RECYCLE and other automatic processes until I can get the vendor to assist in correcting my (their) issue. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
I am currently converting my physical tape environment to Virtual and have found a snag. I have started the RECYCLE process and I found a problem. A user recalled a dataset that was on a recycled tape, HSM asks for the correct volume to be mounted, but it wants it mounted on an old 3490 drive. Not sure how to resolve this.. I started my RECYCLE not knowing about the PERCENTFULL option to go over 100%, I coded 100. HSM treated the Virtual tapes as 3480's with only 200MB capacity. These RECYCLE tapes were one of the first, not sure if that is causing MVS to assume it is a 3480 and to be mounted on the older drive...? Just looking for some quick assistance, I have the vendor researching too, but the more eyes the better...

Re: HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
Thank you for the reply.. I do have the USERUNITTABLE defined for my esoteric. My Virtual is defined as a 9484 and HSM does not recognize that. I'm not having a problem with remembering the drive.. the oddest thing is, that we haven't used these tape drives for HSM since the late 90's. There are no HSM tapes there. If I do a manual Migrate to Level2, and recall.. all things work fine. just the darn recycle tapes. Another thought.. is there a way to reinstate the old physical tapes back into HSM? Until I can come up with a better solution for moving them to virtual. --Brett -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
The 3490 unit assignment could be a default being set somewhere in z/OS; if this is the case, then you're falling through somewhere(possibly in ACS routines) and by default z/OS assigns the default unit type.

Re: HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
Ahh ha! I think you are onto something.. We are not managing tape datasets, but I started looking at routines and it looks like it verifies the device to decide if it needs managed... I did not add my virtual tape esoteric I'll do that straight away and update when done...

Re: HSM Recall from a Virtual tape
Uhm.. well . that didn't work.. I have entries to test the device and it would set the storage class to '', in a sense it would bypass SMS routines.
