Check a backup tape on each server?  I.E. TMS catalog or RMM equivalent.

Is there anyway to query the drive and retrieve the tape media type and block 
size?

Regards

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your reply, I will check the maximum block sizes of device.

Best regards,

What are the maximum block sizes of the two different device types?
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.adru000/r2259.htm
If the source tape has actual blocks bigger than the maximum blocksize
of the destination tape, it cannot be copied.

Hello,

We are migrating data from 3592 to VTL.
The 3592 and VTL are both defined on the Mainframe as 3590 device.
The 3592 tape media has IDCAMS REPRO and DFDSS DUMP datasets.

The REPRO dataset could be copied and moved to VTL.
But, DFDSS DUMP datasets copy failed with copydump.

The 3592 is Medea Type 7 and the VTL is Media Type 3.
It seems that this error is occurring so as not to allow copying to
smaller
capacity media.
However, VTL is a virtual tape with unlimited media size capacity.
Restore from 3592 and re-dump to VTL is a lot of work, so we want to
avoid
this.

Is there a way around this error?

Toyokazu Kobayashi
