Do you have the UNIT parm specified on your DEFINE DUMPCLASS?

I have two separate LPARs, each running HSM. I'm as convinced as I can be that
both ARCCMD00 decks are the same, certainly as regards to auto backup function
anyway.
Some months back I tried to do away with directing backups to (virtual) tape,
intending to direct them to DASD backup volumes instead. I changed ARCCMD00 (in
both LPARs) to have:
SETSYS BACKUP( +
DASD +
INUSE( +
RETRY(Y) +
DELAY(5) +
SERIALIZATION(PREFERRED) +
) +
)
SETSYS DSBACKUP( +
DASD +
TAPE( +
TASKS(0) +
) +
)
However, this only seems to have worked for one of the LPARs. The other LPAR
writes backups to DASD and tape, in a seemingly completely random way. When HSM
starts the backup task, it picks either a daily DASD backup volume or a tape
backup volume, and then uses that output volume for every datasets on the
source volume until the source volume is completely backed up, when the task
ends. The choice of output volume doesn't seem to be SMS management class or
storage group related either; I have volumes in the same storage group that are
written to different target types, and even the same source volume can go to a
different target volume on a different day.
I've been through all the ARCCMD00 parameters now, even comparing them line by
line against the LPAR that works properly, and I'm completely stumped as to why
this other LPAR is STILL choosing tape volumes at random.
For various compliance reasons, I have to get this LPAR, like the other one, to
stop writing to tape and instead write to DASD volumes on our SAN.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
