Check the HSM Audit command for tape/file reinstatement... Too many variations to point out in an email. Check the FM's
HTH, <snip> Too late. I didn't see the warning before I entered the DELVOL command. I am checking with IBM to see if the tape can be reinstated in HSM. </snip> <snip> Agreed. HBDELETE is far safer, especially since the data has been moved. <snip> I hesitate to recommend the DELVOL command especially now, since Willie told us that the RECYCLE moved the datasets he wants to eliminate onto different tapes that have other (presumably valid) data on them. Running a DELVOL against his new(er) tapes will trash the other data on the tapes as well as the stuff he wants to get rid of. </snip> <//snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
