But I think you are correct about the SERNO field. I have a tool which
can modify the field, so I will try to run a test.
This is how the VTOCIX was listed using IEHLIST:
-DATA SET NAME--- CREATED DATE.EXP FILE TYPE SMS.IND EXT DS.VOL1
I did open a PMR, and they told me that the inconsistent VTOCIX name was the
cause of the problem.
Later, when I post my considerations to the list and read your update, I
started to think that the name
inconsistency alone had nothing to do with it. Then I found this SER NO field, and decided

Actually, it sounds like a problem which should be reported to IBM. It
is either a code error or a doc update.

So, the question seems to be is the VTOCIX active?, and nothing to do
with the VTOCIX name.
For the sake of clearness and to close the thread on this topic, I have to
admit that Bruce
was right about VTOCIX name having nothing to do with the problem I
Instead of simply renaming the VTOCIX, I converted the VTOCIX to OSVTOC with PURGE; then
I built a VTOCIX with a consistent name on the affected volume and reran my DR restore.
The correct volser shows up now, everything is consistent. Another thing learned.
Actually, it sounds like a problem
I also thought the name of the VTOC (well, its 3rd qualifier) didn't have necessarily to match the DASD volser.
In case you copy your DASD using the Flashcopy technique with DUMPCOND, and you later DUMP the volume
(for DR purposes or whatever other reason) well, it DOES matter.

Is it corrupt or just mis-cataloged? Usually it's sufficient to
convert index to OS format and back to IX.
Can be rename the the VTOC index
Why care?
I've run many volumes that have the last qualifier not match the VTOCIX.
It's just a convenience when you first create it.

However, there is no need to rename it. Any dataset name beginning with
SYS1.VTOCIX. is acceptable, it does not have to match the volser.
Hmmm. In a recent thread I learned that IEHLIST does not
