VSAM RLS

Hi, I'm being tasked to implement VSAM RLS for HSM in a parallel sysplex, consisting of 5 LPARS - LPAR1 & LPAR2 (PRODPLEX) sharing one set of HSM CDSs; LPAR3 & LPAR4 (QAPLEX) sharing one set, and LPAR5 (ICPLEX) having its own set. Should all these HSM environments then be part of one HSMPLEX env

I am not sure what you want to do. VMS? As in the VAX operating system? Or did you misspell MVS? If you want to copy the contents of one z/OS tape to another tape, we use TapeCopy from OpenTech. You can read about it here: http://www.opentechsystems.com/tape-copy.php . We used this product to copy

Re: DLF - DLFCLASS Using DLF for PDS data?

Ricc, DLF is not designed for PDS, and you can inadvertently create integrity problems across two or more LPARS when you use RETAIN. If the dataset remains a PDS and you suspect that a large amount of the activity on the dataset is BLDL then you will realize some benefit by placing the dataset in
