Re: What happens in HSM when I change a Management Class

Even though virtual tapes are essentially tape images on DASD, if a virtual tape dataset is allocated to a job or user, another dataset on the same virtual tape volume cannot be mounted elsewhere for use by another job or user. However, many virtual tape systems allow the size of each tape to

With the relatively fast response of virtual tape, the recycle threshold can be set fairly high. I recycled daily. Assuming sufficient number of drives, it won't interfere with recall unless coincidentally actively recycling the dataset requested by the recall. > -Original Message- >

Gadi, Mike has a good point. Doing HSM tape recycles could help free up any tapes with a low number of datasets on them. This is true for migration tapes and backup tapes. Be warned that if you don't do tape recycles on a scheduled basis the process could possibly run for a long time. As an

You should be recycling tapes with a low percent of active datasets. This copies the remaining active datasets to a new tape then marking this on as inactive. You can manually issue a recycle command against a specific volume. On Wed, Mar 13, 2024 at 10:56 AM Gadi Ben-Avi wrote: > > Hi Paul, >

Hello list, I'm apparently having a senior moment. I'm having trouble running an apply check on my 2.4 system with a missing shell script that exists. In researching it, I found a similar situation and as part of it I found this on IBM's web site: SMP/E APAR IO27985 has been created to

Hi Paul, Thanks for your detailed explanation. I would like to delete extra copies of backups, backups that have been on HSM for more than a specified number of days, and as a result of that, tapes that become empty will be deleted. The end result would be that every backed-up dataset that
