--- snip --- The fact that ickdsf cannot clip the volser is because the hardware knows that this secondary disk is part of a suspended pair . When you suspend , ickdsf will tell you ICK30111I DEVICE SPECIFIED IS THE SECONDARY OF A DUPLEX OR PPRC PAIR ICK31024I UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME. ICK30003I FUNCTION TERMINATED. CONDITION CODE IS 12 ( this is happening on IBM dasd and is Zaromil description ) AFAIK this is just because of pure hardware behaviour .( shutting down your entire GDPS will not clear the condition . Hardware will remember it is part of a suspended pair . So when you say it is possible to clip the volumes , do you mean you can do it only on other hardware ? (like HDS) or is it just because your BCM software is manipulating some hardware bits in the controller , in order to fool ickdsf ? ( i was thinking of a scenario with db2 log suspend , csuspend ,db2 log resume, dump the secondary volumes on cartridges, and cestpair resynch ) --- snip ---
Does the DUMPCOND(SET) parameter of ICKDSF REFORMAT get you anything? I've never tried it with a suspended Duplex secondary.
