In both a CRQ and nonCRQ environment, HSM will process all of the queued requests from a mounted tape. But, there are some important differences. In a nonCRQ environment, each HSM host has it's own queue. So, each host will only process the queued requests on it's own queue. This requires

Agreed. The HSM default is to hold a tape for 5 seconds to wait for another recall from the same tape to be queued. Either the next recall from the same tape is coming in after 5 seconds, or it is arriving on another LPAR (in a nonCRQ environment). Glenn Wilcock DFSMShsm Architect
