Tom, I cant find that post from Karthick anywhere ...... Ok, here's what I can remember ;-) about VNL exit ....
hsm avoids the VNL exit being called because it does its own checking before attempting dynamic allocation of a system managed volume. It knows from its own volume record that the volume is system managed, and checks residency before allocation attempted. So, for hsm's processing there is nothing a product like rmm can do in VNL exit to help ..... So any SYSZTIOT ENQ is purely something to address to hsm. I did one-time suggest they changed the processing so there was a common path via VNL to resolve the error situation .... cheers, Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
