On the other hand question goes did you try with the recover option from
backup since it's a ml2 there should be a backup copy created as well and
if so look in the above manual there's a way to recover dataset from the
dfdss backup...interesting question nevertheless.


This assumption about auto backups being a pre-requisite for ML2 residency seems to be a very common mis-perception about HSM. A backup copy is a pre-requisite if and ONLY IF a data set belongs to a MGMTCLAS that requires auto backup. If the MGMTCLAS does not require auto-backup, it will happily migrate to ML2 with no backup in existence.

If you are in an environment with many, independent, potentially naive users who never think of backing up anything, it might make sense to have most datasets with a MGMTCLAS that requires HSM auto-backup.

If you are in a complex business environment with many interrelated application areas and complicated relationships among many datasets, and applications that run throughout the 24-hour day, an HSM asynchronous auto-backup at an unpredicable point in the application cycles is almost worthless. We have always fit more into the latter, and only have HSM autobackup on a small percentage of datasets, mostly application development libraries and some TSO user data sets, which generally would not be in-flight during the several night hours HSM might be doing auto-backup.
