Hi,
I've just been informed that we will be getting a new DS8884 to replace an
older DS8884.
Is there a way to export the configuration from the older DS8884 and copy it to
the new one?
Thanks

I agree, it seems to bne a matter of tape migration being held.
Make sure you figure out "why" it was held before you start it up again. There
could be a good reason and it will be in the log (normally). You can also stop
and start HSM and it should tell you why migration is not started
Well, I would like to know, so I tried it. Evidently, an ESDS does not
support reclen=0. My test input file (RECFM=VB) had no data in the 11th
record (the aforementioned x'0004'), and the REPRO reported thus:
IDC3302I ACTION ERROR ON SAS00.TEST.ESDS
IDC3351I ** VSAM I/O RETURN CODE IS 108
It is impossible to please everyone all the time :-D. The only solution is
to use UTC everywhere for everything; except of course, that would please
almost no one who doesn't live in Iceland.

I changed TZ to the value you suggested, and when I issue the time command I
get UTC.

Jake,
The more common issues with this kind of behavior is that probably migration is
held or there are no tape tasks assigned.

The correct place to set TZ (as documented in the UNIX Planning book) is
/etc/init.options.

Imagining something that changes or "flips" semiannually is a
conceptual error. In fact the TZ environment variable is a parameter

The IBM 2321 was also (affectionately?) known as the "noodle snatcher".
A redesign in the S/370 generation produced the 3850 "drum storage" device.
Same basic concept w/drums instead of mag strips.
The 3850 (as well as the 2321) were both know for mangling the "back end"
storage media.

Gil,
I agree - maybe there should be a special setting for TZ (or another envar)
that will cause TZ to automatically follow the MVS time.
Maybe open another RFE? :-)

SC23-6855-30, DFSMS Using Data Sets Version 2 Release 3, pages 198-200 of the

RDF and CIDF control fields in a VSAM control interval.

The 3850 was a redesign of the 2321 in the same sense that the QE2 was a
redesign of the Boeing 747.
The 3850 used tape cartridge with helical recording and staging to 3330
volumes. It wasn't remotely similar to the 2321, and its falure mode weren't
remotely similar to the failure modes of the
Not even close. The strips were stored in containers called cells, each
containing 20 subcells of 10 strips. It was the cells that were arranged in a
cylinder, not the strips. The 2321 extracted a single strip and wrapped the one
strip around a drum to read or write it, then returned it,
Both the jukebox and the 3488 were available on the RCA 301. Due to trademark
issues RCA had to drop the RACE name, although I believe that they were able to
refer to it a R.A.C.E. through the Spectra 70.
DRF? Don't ask, don't tell. You're better off using the Data Disk File.
