Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Another IBM tape not for z/OS

Hi, I'd have to agree. Management of dataset and volume backups and dumps is tricky without HSM taking care of it by writing to tape, either real or virtual, quickly becoming a management overhead - though it did say "almost all". thanks,   Simon Wheeler -Original Message- From:

Hi, We use hold commands in the ARCCMD parm member to prevent an lpar from recalling, but it's allowed to put requests on the common queue (this was because we used to be short on tape drives). E.G. ONLYIF HSMHOST(2) HOLD RECALL(TAPE) ONLYIF HSMHOST(2)

Hi Sean, Have you created VRS definitions? These are used to control retention, based on a variety of factors, such as whether the dataset is catalogued. EDGRMMxx is more to do with system options and VLPOOL defs where I guess you'd set EXPDTCHECK(N) to rely on RMM volume status to govern scrat

Hi Terri, Couldn't see if this has already been answered, but if everything looks correctly defined within RMM and HSM, could it be the scratch expiry setting on the VTS scratch category? It can be set to keep scratch tapes for a specified time, so although scratched in RMM they can't be used

Ben, You're on the right track, but I've always kept the device numbers on the array and z/OS the same so don't know if the mix of Annn on the array and Ennn on the host would work. My site example: mklcu -dev IBM.2107-blahblah -qty 1 -id A0 -ss A000 mklcu -dev IBM.2107-blahblah -qty 1 -id A1 -

HI, Check that your MPFLSTnn parmlib member is set to send the messages to Netview and also confirm that this is really the message to trap and not the IGD104I instead. Look in the Netview log to see if your messages are there and see if Netview is reacting to their presence. thanks, Simon W

Hi, For data mirroring between TS7760 arrays (grid members) there's two primary parts. 1. ACS routines on the mainframe need to assign the desired management class that is defined on the VTS with mirroring. 2. On the VTS use constructs, with the same management class name, to determine what h
