Hi John,
There are a couple of additional things to consider related to your inquiry. It may be that you are already familar with them. Since you are moving from 3390/3 to 3390/9, are the VTOC and VVDS large enough? Once you have moved a full volume 3390/3, along with its volser, to a 3390/9, check the amount of free space on the 3390/9volume. It may show the same amount of free space as the source 3390/3 volume. In that case, you would need to refresh the VTOC. //ICKDSF EXEC PGM=ICKDSF,PARM='NOREPLYU' //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //DD0 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=volser //SYSIN DD * REFORMAT VERIFY(volser) DDNAME(DD0) REFVTOC /* HTH, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Dawes" <jhn_da...@yahoo.com.au> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Friday, November 4, 2011 6:05:42 AM Subject: Re: QUESTION ABOUT COPY COMMAND - DFDSS Barry, I am copying each volume 1 for 1 i.e. I will be copying (4) 3390-3 to (4) 3390-9. Sorry, I should have posed my question more clearly. ________________________________ From: "Schwarz, Barry A" <barry.a.schw...@boeing.com> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Thursday, 3 November 2011 3:42 PM Subject: Re: QUESTION ABOUT COPY COMMAND - DFDSS My 1.11 copy of the DSS Storage Admin manual states that FULL is the default. Does your manual say something different? Are you copying each 3390-3 to a different 3390-9 or all four to a single 3390-9? If the latter, you might be better off with a dataset copy specifying all datasets and the four volumes rather than four separate volume copies. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On > Behalf Of John Dawes > Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 8:35 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Subject: QUESTION ABOUT COPY COMMAND - DFDSS > > G'Day, > > We are in the process of freeing a controller and I need to move 4 volumes > off it.

Is there a danger not using it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
